Parental Power TV Indecency, the FCC, and the Media's Response by Jack Valenti

Deluged by indecency complaints since Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction," Congress continues to look for ways to respond that may or may not be constitutional, even as the FCC imposes multi-million-dollar fines on TV networks. But those measures may soon be eclipsed by a new campaign underwritten by TV stations, cable systems, DBS, movie studios, TV programmers, and the Consumer Electronics Association to inform parents about a recently developed, simplified program that will enable parents to control all TV programming coming into their homes. Please join us for a discussion of this nongovernmental effort to address the issue, with comments from the FCC.

Jack Valenti Dominates Another Debate

From the Cato Institute comes this debate over parental power with regards to television. Former President and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America Jack Valenti dominates the debate arguing firmly that devices like the V-Chip allow parents to screen out material they deem inappropriate. He also argues that the FCC needs to establish set guidelines for what is out of line on television before it hands out exorbitant fines to TV stations.
