“Well I am NOT for more profanity and nudity on TV especially over the airwaves, and especially on regular channels.”

Regulation of industry by the Federal Government always leads down a negative path and we should support further government regulation of broadcasters or any other industry.

Moreover, we should permit the broadcasters, their advertisers and their viewership to decide what gets aired.

If the the networks find they can make more money by broadcasting curse words, then they should be permitted to do so with out Federal Government regulation.

And as viewers, we can always turn the TV or radio off if we do not like what is broadcast.

That’s rather like saying a child should say “no” to a molester. We can make those decisions but children cannot. It’s up to the TV stations to ensure that the viewers are all adults.

Same old tired logic as the Clinton's presented. You sure you are on the correct forum. This is a Christian, Conservative owned site.
