Haven't we seen this TV sitcom before? It's the one in which politicians try to clean up the airwaves in the name of protecting children. So starts the WSJ's editorial against granting the FCC even more power to censor. The equally biting conclusion: The report cites studies showing that parents in the U.S. are deeply concerned about violence on TV. That may be true, but it's difficult to square with another of the report's findings, which is that nearly 70% of children have a TV in their bedroom. Either mom and dad aren't as concerned about the issue as policy makers and special-interest groups would like, or they have things in better perspective. Link: FCC TV - WSJ.com.
