While these mainstream media-national broadcast networks, radio conglomerates, etc-may be trying to take greater responsibility in their decisions on what to air, there will always be those that 'push the envelope' a little more. It is embarrassing to be sitting in front of the tv with my child and seeing a music video come on with bouncing women just this side of nude, as the 'musicians' leer and react in less than gentlemanly fashion to them. One song in particular, a rather good tune in many respects, has the verse, 'I want to make you come all night'. as the singer is hovering over his naked lover. I was rendered speechless, watching it with my daughter!! Will these 'media organs' render those videos obsolete? Will anyone who wants any kind of music video have to pay a premium to view them?
As an adult, I have to right and the knowledge to choose what I want to see. But children are not equipped to make rational decisions, yet are bombarded daily with conflicting ideals as to decency and responsibility. And, as mom and dad are saying, 'that's not good'. too many portions of media are saying, 'there's no harm in it'.
