Bush refuses to back downWritten by IndySawmill

Hey tool, that wasn't question. It isn't up to you to decide what is and what is not enough information. Not to mention, you have not supplied all of requested information. Liar. Turns out, President Bush may place Bolton as a recess appointment, even though that would severely undermined U.S.'s position in U.N. and further polarize Senate. (Washington Post) Doesn't matter, it's what Karl, Dick and George want... damn what's good for country. This unmitigated arrogance that President Bush continues to exhibit, even in light of obviously being wrong, should be a deep concern to every American.

So, we've established that media can't solve this problem by itself. That leaves only two possible courses of action: (1) increase regulation, or (2) leave it to parents, churches and other private entities to come up with their own solutions. I'm not a big fan of regulation. In particular, I don't like fact that content of traditional broadcasters is regulated by FCC ("wardrobe malfunction," anyone?), while that of media they compete against (satellite, cable, Internet, iPods and Xboxes) is not. This unlevel playing field makes virtually all existing media legislation unfair in my mind. However, if pols could somehow create a regulatory structure that is fair to all media, I'd be in favor of it. Because families in both red states and blue states know that they (even with church support) are no match for daily bombardment of media.
