The right to be free from garbage? I don't remember that one being enumerated. I do remember we have the right to property, (.e.g., to earn money and pay for things of our choosing), but the freeware of TV (as opposed to the equipment) has always been paid for by advertisers, who basically follow the tastes of the viewers that tune in, and they do tend to have all kinds of demographic info re: who does. So when it's free it's basically worth every penny (popular tastes prevail). And the recipient has no right to expect anything of much value at all.
Turn it off - turn to FoxNews only. Whatever. Regulating others tastes is a waste of valuable lifespan.

Regulating others tastes is a waste of valuable lifespan Who is regulating others' tastes? I am asking for better programming and better taste in what goes over the public airwaves. I can ask for regulation in the media, and that does not mean I am regulating other viewers tastes...get it? good night. you all are obviously lobbyists for the ACLU
