Re: More Canadian censorship
You people scare me! In your hatred of corporations, you are willing to turn
programming decisions over to the government. One suggested that programming
regulation should not be as heavy handed as in Canada but someone has to make
sure that broadcasters are not bottom feeding. Who decides what is bottom
feeding and what is in the public interest? Some politician or the same
bureaucrat that decided that employers are responsible for the safety of
workers working in their own homes?
When it comes to program content: let the market decide. If people don't
watch and advertisers don't support it, the public is not interested and
therefore a broadcast is not in the public interest.
