Variety.com - FCC takes aim at TV networks

Have you noticed all the ads on the networks, especially Fox, pushing the V-chip.  I think there’s a website called TVboss.org that they want you to visit.  The friggin’ V-chip has been mandatory in all TV’s sold in the U.S. for about a decade now, so why the big push for using them now?  Read the article I link to above and ye shall have your questions answered, Truth Seeker.

Oh, by the way, after all the bullshit from pressure groups to put the V-chip into TV’s, only about 2% of American parents actually use the things.  Remember that as you read the Variety article.  NO ONE’S KID “HAS” TO WATCH ANY VIOLENT CONTENT THAT THE PARENTS OBJECT TO.
