“So you’re okay with anything goes on TV? Porn okay?”
If ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox were to broadcast porn, I think they would lose advertisers and would not make as much money.
The networks understand that TV’s have an off switch.
However, that is a decision that should be left up to the networks, as our Federal Government has no business dictating policy to private industry.
Are there any other private industries that you want the Federal Government to further regulate?

It is my understanding that the reason the FCC was given this sort of control over what goes over the broadcast airwaves is that the American people are said to be the actual owners of said airwaves. The networks are required to get licenses to use our airwaves. These rules do not apply to the cable channels.
Watch last night episode of "The Americans" and tell me they don't already have porn on network TV.
Some of the better written shows are replete with graphic sexual images and language. I record some of them on my computer and edit them so they can be watchable, I shouldn’t have to do that because the story is the same with out all the filth.
Most of the trash they produce is net losers, but they keep pumping it out and occasionally they produce a money winner so they can continue pumping out the filth. It is called propaganda.
