86. Children should see whatever their parents allow them to see. It's none of my business.
Every tv has an on and an off button. Every child has a parent or a guardian. I certainly don't think anyone has a right to determine content other then the consumer. If someone doesn't want to take the time or effort to protect their children from things they find harmful, that's a real shame. And the sort of people that wouldn't do that are going to make plenty of other mistakes as well.

Frankly, if you want to do what's best for Kids, don't let them watch anything but PBS. Let them read and use their imagination. TV is a horrible thing to expose a child to. The commercials all send negative messages to kids-from products that encourage kids to not share(trix rabbit) to the promotion of junk food.

What makes you think I'm powerful? I'm a collection of 1s' and 0's. I have one voice. Just like you.

In a perfect world, the only thing the FCC would do would be to block corporate ownership of multiple stations in multiple markets.

And yes, I have feelings. I keep them in a jar next to my bed.
