First amendment Sleaze:
The founding fathers were very concerned that political discussion or criticism of the government not be restricted and our constitution reflects this. But every time the subject of censorship or decency on TV comes up it involves either violence or sex. I have never heard of a case where political speech was at issue.

So despite the high blown talk about first amendment rights and freedom of the press it really comes down to networks and stations wanting to make more money by adding violence and sex to TV programming. After all, the TV executive's salary and bonus depend on ratings and they are desparate to get those ratings. If you will think about it, sex, violence and cursing on TV have increased dramatically in the last few years.

Did anyone see the super bowl ABC ad with the blond dropping her towel for the football player?
