Re: More Canadian censorship

[Dib9@aol.com]

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.
