Anyone who has followed my postings throughout the years know that
decency and the welfare of children have always been in the forefront
of my agenda. This particular issue, the FCC proposing loosening their
criteria for what they consider indecent, needs to be vigorously
opposed. I urge everyone to file a complaint with the FCC whenever you
witness indecency on broadcast television or on the airwaves.
http://www.citizenlink.com/2013/05/15/fcc-proposes-loosening-indecency-regulations/
The Parents Television Council (PTC), a media-watchdog group, opposes
the Federal Communications Commission�s proposal to loosen its policy
against radio and T.V. indecency (obscene speech and nudity). The PTC
is making its opposition known to the FCC during a public comment
period, which end June 19, 2013. They encourage parents to send
comments to the FCC on this subject, as well.
According to PornHarms.com, Tim Winter, the president of PTC,
commented:
�It unnecessarily weakens a decency law that withstood a ferocious,
10-year constitutional attack waged by the broadcast industry. It
invites yet another wave of special interest pressure to obviate the
intent of Congress and the will of the American people,� Winter said.
�� Either material is legally indecent or it is not,� Winter said. �It
is unnecessary for indecent content to be repeated many times in order
to be actionable, and it is unwise for the FCC to pursue a new course
which will guarantee nothing but a new rash of new litigation.�

Over-the-air TV is becoming increasingly irrelevant. If you want to make
it the last bastion of your version of "decency", I will hardly notice.
Nor will the children growing up today.

To whom does one file a complaint about sick videos showing a cat being
cruelly killed by a dog? There's not much that's more indecent than that.

I disagree with it. Parents raise a child. The "village" might have
a certain amount of input, but the parents can, and should, counteract
any village input they don't care for.
Here's what I agree with: the airwaves shouldn't be run strictly by
and for children's preferences. Adults get to have programming too.
If a particular parent doesn't want their kids watching particular
programs, s/he can always use the V-Chip built into each television
that allows parents to block content.
*OR* they can do what my parents did and simply turn the TV set *off*
and not allow the kid to watch any television.
*OR* they can simply get rid of their television, as unAmerican as
that may sound.
But only allowing programming fit for children? No. Let the parents
*do their jobs* and actually *parent* their children. Too many
parents consider the job of parenting done the minute they grunt out
the squealing piglet.
