I see what you're getting at, but it should be mentioned that the words were "vulgar" language that had nothing to do with anything political. Anyone who wanted to keep up even the most minimal appearance of professionalism and be taken seriously, even today, likely wouldn't use one of the "seven dirty words" (shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits).
And no KGB type entity would whisk you away in the night for saying any of them. It's even vague whether or not the FCC ever even enforced it at all. Hell, it's kinda vague on whether or not it was even a rule before George Carlin's comedy bit. The Supreme Court later even ruled it as...too vague.
