Say Goodbye To Good TV

The Federal Censorship Commission (FCC) wants to ban violence on TV.

Don't watch NBC?

They want to ban violence on cable too, meaning The Shield and shows like it could face government censorship. The FCC was asked to submit a report 3 years ago and are just releasing it now to Congress. Someone in Congress will undoubtedly introduce a bill to ban violence, sex, etc, on all TV channels that are not HBO, Showtime, etc.

This is not a republican/democrat issue. Hillary Clinton loves to talk about banning violent video games so she will probably be all over this issue. Politicians are also hoping people will blame the crazy Korean at VA Tech on TV and things like that instead of deep-rooted psychological issues that have nothing to do with entertainment.

As soon as the bill is introduced in Congress I'll post it here with a way to contact your Congressman.

Thank you for the info. I gues NBC really sucks. There has always been violence on TV. Why ban it now?

why can't people take responsibility for what they watch?
