Robert McChesney and Ben Scott of Free Press write in an excellent editorial in the Detroit Free Press:
We should look at indecency as a symptom of a larger problem: the lack of consumer choice and control over what they see on television. The answer to concerns over indecency, then, is not less speech, but more speech.
We should pursue public policies that expand the diversity of content on television to offer more choices, reflecting the reality that different households have different media preferences. Families should be able to choose from a wide variety of independent, alternative and noncommercial programs and channels.
Read the entire piece, it's excellent. Link: COMMENT: Cleaning up TV.
