Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent
The Parents Television Council says the "$#*!" in the title of the upcoming CBS show $#*! my dad says is indecent. From the article: "'CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS's latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public,' declared PTC President Tim Winter. 'There are an infinite number of alternatives that CBS could have chosen, but its desire to shock and offend is crystal clear in this decision.'" By this logic Qbert was the filthiest game ever made.
I teach sunday school, (and have taught 9th grade also).
I tell girls that boys will drag them as far down in the gutter as they will allow.
Its up to the girl to show disapproval when they have reached their tolerance level.
CBS is definitely trying to make a buck from shock. Kudos for calling them on it.
For me, I download everything, so I am immune to CBS and most ads for that matter!
I know this self-censorship will probably dwindle, but for now its heavenly!
Bored this summer, help a good cause

Um, no.
The "Tea Party" movement was organized by a fraction of the majority of Americans that hate taxes/government spending.
The liberal media immediately labeled them "Tea Baggers", to try to denigrate the movement before it could get traction. (It now has majority support in the United States in most polling).
In fact, I'd say the easiest method of assessing the bias of a news organization is how they make reference to the "Tea Party". Especially how they made reference to it when it was getting started.

That's great moderation right there. Last I looked this was the only non-kneejerk comment on the whole page.
