In Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s Miss Representation, a man was interviewed discussing “family hour.” A chunk of time set aside for national television where profanity and inappropriate  material was banned so a family could sit down together and watch  a show appropriate for all ages. 

This concept seems very interesting to me. On one hand why should the media regulate violence and pornography when someone can just watch the news and get similar images that are accounted from real events.  Why should media be limited and regulated when other art forms are not. No on tells a painter his pieces are too provocative to be showcased. I can’t form a formal idea but I can see the other side of the argument that it would be appropriate to have a designated time for “PG” media only. Any thoughts?
