My question is, what is the FFCs guidelines towards advocating violence?

While they used an 'imaginary' child as an example, the whole discussion was brought up by a real child.

Well, they find a gazillion dollars for a clearly accidental and momentary nudity issue but a half-hour talk show advocating violence against children the could be (very arguably) defined as troubled gets a pass?

Does it fall under free speech protections?

they've changed a few things recently (since i studied, anyway) so i'm not sure what it would fall under now

The FCC is fangless and it sucks. Just sayin'.
