none of these options come anywhere near my opinion:

Yes! The government should own the air waves. We need a system like the BBC.
How does this even address the question of content regulation?
Quote:
Yes. We need less sex, less violence, and/or more "educational" TV.
Sex and Violence should be treated as two different subjects.
Quote:
Yes. The current level of FCC power is about right.
I don't think everything is 100% peachy, so I can't vote this way.
Quote:
No. Let broadcasters choose content and format. Only require that they scramble the really rude stuff.
This doesn't address the problems of arbitrary material or fines against individuals.
Quote:
No! Any government censorship is intolerable. Give broadcasters the same freedoms of expression enjoyed by publishers of books and magazines -- including how much sex, violence and crude language.
I don't want to see "goatse" on my TV, under any circumstances.
