FCC Report - TV Violence Should be Regulated (http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/92022576/article.pl):
tanman writes "CNN reports that a draft FCC report circulating on Capitol Hill 'suggests Congress could craft a law that would let the agency regulate violent programming much like it regulates sexual content and profanity — by barring it from being aired during hours when children may be watching' The article goes on to quote from studies showing a link between violent imagery and violence in life, and discusses the 'huge grey areas' that could result from ill-defined concepts of excessive violence." Government as Nanny, or cracking down on an excessive entertainment culture? Which side of this do you find yourself on?http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?i=clwTkE</img> (http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?a=clwTkE)
