The Right is on the March
.
The conservative fundamentalist movement in this country is now officially out of control. Pat Robertson says liberal judges are more dangerous to this country than a "bunch of bearded terrorists flying planes into buildings." Read about it here at Media Matters
He also said Moslems shouldn't be judges or in the President's Cabinet: No Muslim Judges.
And don't let them fool you. They aren't looking out for the children. They want the government to decide what you can and cannot watch as adults.
From the Online Television Newsletter Cynopsis today (5/5/5):
"As the debate rages on about TV program content, censorship and indecency and what the role of the government should be in all this, a new coalition called TV Watch has set up shop in NYC. TV Watch opposes government control of TV programming content and instead advocates parental controls, which includes program content ratings, blocking technologies, and providing parents/care takers with the right to select what is good or not for their family. Backed up a host of media companies, including NBC Universal, Viacom, NewsCorp., and a host of legal experts, academics, business leaders and entertainers, TV Watchburst out of the gate yesterday with the findings of a national poll indicating while the American public cares about content, it is also in favor of parental responsibility versus "government control." Findings include an 8:1 ratio of respondents who say "more parental involvement” is a better solution to keeping kids from seeing adult content than increasing government control. The national survey was conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates and the Luntz Research Companies, the complete findings are available at the TV Watch website: http://www.televisionwatch.org/.
The strong response from Parents Television Council president L. Brent Bozell to the formation of TV Watch was published on the PTC website's home page: "This supposed 'coalition' needs to be taken – and dismissed – for what it is: a collection of random citizen and public policy groups that have simply been hired and paid for by the networks to do their dirty work. Some of these organizations, like the American Conservative Union and Americans for Tax Reform have never given a moment's thought to the suffocating sewage coming from the entertainment industry. That in and of itself is shameful. But now, suddenly, they care? It's a laughable proposition to think that this hired gun coalition will have any impact whatsoever on the ongoing debate over decency and the public airwaves."
Clearly, these people are certain they have the right, nay, the responsibility, to make sure YOU as an independent adult are not exposed to filth...
