Sorry Eppie, but I'ma have to part with you on this one. Yes, there is a lot of bullshit and mindless crap on TV that promotes ignorance. But no government or otherwise has a right to force private citizens what they can or cannot watch in their own home (exception: child pornography, which must be forbidden anywhere). It is up to the people to decide what is good to watch and what isnt. This is why critical and free thinking is so important, so that people can differentiate between propaganda and reality. But censoring what they can or cannot watch, especially in the privacy of their own home, is not the solution.
