The new twist in the indecency debacle comes from Representative James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) who recently told the cable industry that when it comes to indecency violations, he’d rather seek criminal prosecution as an enforcement measure.
When all of this started shortly after Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction, we started a site – www.saveradionow.org. It is an announcement like this from the chairman of one of Congress’ most important committees that makes me feel like it wasn’t a total waste of time and resources. As someone reminded me before last November’s election, we’ll end up with the representatives we deserve. But do we deserve THIS?
