Now if I am, say a golf fan, I can literally fill my media entertainment with nothing but golf-related programming. I could watch the Golf Channel, cruise gold forums, play golf games on my consoles or computer, etc.

Although few people would define themselves that simply or program their entertainment that narrowly, those options are there.

The point is, I don't have to watch any show or media that I don't agree with. I can always find media that will support my beliefs and ignore media that does not.

This is why the FCC is obsolete. It was originally founded to monitory "decency" across the radio airwaves. That was when there were only a handful of radio stations. The argument was that there wasn't a lot of choice in programming. Now one is free to change the channel if he or she does not like what is shown.

I feel like too many people have too much of an interest in what they do not like, rather than what they do like :/
