Why are Liberals so Conservative about entertainment/media?
I'm a voting Democrat and consider myself to be a Liberal. Yet I am very disappointed in some Liberal's stance on entertainment and media and it's affect on society. From Tipper Gore and the PMRC to Senator Clinton and the Grand Theft Auto fiasco, politicians who claim to be liberal have acted extremely conservatively with any form of entertainment that doesn't adhere to puritanical niceties. "Will someone think of the children?" is not a strong political platform.
So why are (some) Liberal's like this? Why can't these bogus issues be left to the Jerry Falwells and Pat Buchanan's of the political spectrum? When will Liberals actually act like open-minded, forward thinking people as their title suggests?
