You live in a semi-civilized society. Get over it. After all, public television is not paid by you, so you don't have any rights over what they broadcast there or not. The government, on the other hand,
owns the TV frequencies.

Now that's a good point. Well, not that, but it got me to think of somthing. Channels generally are so biased in their way of informing the population and giving political opinions that I don't see how doing "live brainwashing" via TV is allowed

first is TV & Radio...then what? Newspapers? the Internet? the first amendment protects American citizens/residents to say what they want... you can just change the channel or turn off the TV... you are not obligated to watch these shows or "Britney almost naked in her last video"
Don't get paranoid... the problem here is that a nipple was shown in an "all audiences" Super Bowl show in daytime programming. The show was rated for all audiences, kids were watching that, and some conservatives parents don't want kids to see breasts in concerts. Period.

With this i'm not saying that porn channels should be in the networks ok...?
Nothing to do with it. If porn channels were rated All audiences, then we'd have a problem.
