The Thought Police Could Be Inside Your Set
BlogPulse's no. 39 top link today is a story on Salon (you'll have to watch a brief ad if you click on it) about the federal gubbment getting ready to crack down on "offensive" or "inappropriate" things on cable TV. Historically, America's idea-nannies have only had justification to meddle in things that TV and radio broadcasters sent over the airwaves, because the electronic spectrum they use belongs to the people of this great nation, which station operators lease through their licenses. Now, for some reason, the FCC thinks it has the same jurisdiction over privately owned cable lines, paid for by subscribers. Top FCC officials are thinking of ways, Salon reports, to hold cable stations to the same standards as broadcasters, meaning the days might be numbered for the edgy but sometimes racy things cable can show. Bloggers aren't happy about this. "When are people like us going to stand up against the likes of a government who tries to mold us in its own cultural image, simply because it believes it has sufficient 'political capital?'" asks SpeakSpeak. Check out MediaGeek for a a pretty slippery slope: "If he is willing to censor material on subscriber services like cable and satellite that don't agree with his good tastes, one has to wonder how long it will be until he sets his sights on the Internet." And blogs.
