Bi-partisan disgust with the media. Instapundit has a pretty good section today on the congressional backlash caused by the Howard Stern/Janet Jackson messes, as well as others. He points out that this isn't some Republican plot, as the commerce committee voted unanimously to raise the fines for indecent broadcasting. That's Republicans and Democrats.
Here's the original post. Senator Hollings (D-SC) proposed an amendment that would force cable companies to offer their channels a-la-carte, but it was shot down. I've always wanted them to offer this kind of thing, as I would never watch all the channels, and would probably only get sports related channels anyway. But I don't think the gov't should be legislating that kind of thing.
