Title: FCC report: TV violence should be regulated
Post by: Foxy Brown on February 18, 2007, 06:32:54 PM

Television networks are free to sprinkle their programs with shootings, slashings, torture and other gore because the government has no regulatory authority over violent programming.

But a draft report being circulated at the Federal Communications Commission says Congress can change that, without violating the First Amendment. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/16/tvviolence.ap/index.html)

Damn FCC, Let TV be. People who don't want their children to watch violence should simply not let their kids watch TV, its called parenting.

People could also try talking to their kids about what's on TV, making sure that they know and understand that while the violence and what not may look cool on the screen, in real life it's bad and that it's not fun when people get hurt.

It's a novel idea, this parenting thing is.

It might be more for people who do not 'parent'
