Conservative Christians are usually the ones pushing for "decency" standards on broadcast media (and oddly the radical feminists are with them in that matter).

Actually, it was Tipper Gore who came up with warnings on music albums. The dems like to give lip service to "family values" on these shallow issues whenever they feel like they're loosing the public. Hillary came up with something recently, along that vein. (Sorry, I didn't bother to store it in my memory. Wasn't worth it.)

"Actually, it was Tipper Gore who came up with warnings on music albums."

Yep. And I got at least one friend to vote Bush in 2000 by reminding him of that fact. That and the sometimes libertarian leanings of the Republicans. But groups like Focus on the Family are out to stamp out stuff they don't like on broadcast media. That is anti-market, and I don't see how anyone can claim to be conservative and be against the market.

I remember hearing Tipper interviewed by Dr. Dobson way back when on the issue. She was talking about printed lyrics that could be reviewed before buying the album. Seemed reasonable to me; just the facts and let the buyer decide.
