nication related fields, including radio,
is standing by doing nothing because the community's moral levels
are supposedly changing. But people should have the decision who
should be broadcasting over the airwaves and who shouldn't since
they are they ones who are wanting to listen to something they
approve of, and they are the ones that pay the taxes to the government
who should be doing what they demand. There are many anti-hate
laws to protect people from being emotionally and mentally hurt,
but Dr. Laura is allowed to call all homosexuals "deviants"
and "biological errors" on the air. The Ku Klux Klan
would definitely not be allowed to do such a thing since it hurts
other people, and what she and other disc jockeys who are too
immature to use their brains instead of bathroom humor is almost
as bad, especially since kids could be listening and they are
most easily influenced, and they will be the leaders of our society
tomorrow. The problem of an infestation of these DJ types isn't
bad now because there aren't many in number, but there are thousands,
if not millions, more children out their listening and basing
their beliefs and attitudes and demeanors on their "idols",
and they have a greater chance of turning out like them, too,
especially since positive role models are at a premium these days
with parents working and being busy too much and the TV, computer,
and even radio on too much.
ar on the way to school, and in the afternoon
after school in the car and before dinner. Traditionally, kids
would watch cartoons in the morning before school and after school,
but with radio now trying to appeal to a generation that tries
to act much older than its age or maturity level- Generation Y-
the in your face, titillating, and taboo humor is much more appealing
and amusing. There are no ways of stopping younger children from
getting to the material they want, and a short warning that is
aired at the beginning of every show is rarely heard by listeners
at that exact time or not paid any head since the tone blends
right in with all the commercials people have learned to phase
out. And yes there are those helpful little "bleeps"
that can knock out the occasional cuss word, but many of the shock
stations tend not to use them to their full capabilities, and
producers definitely aren't willing to bleep about whole minutes
of air time when a DJ, such as Howard who can be heard all morning
on 105.3, KITS, or "live 105", goes on a rant about
his or someone else's sexual organs since they would lose listeners
and money from advertisers. Since no one is going to voluntarily
stop their obscenity, the FCC needs to put harsher penalties on
violators and pursue more offenders since there currently are
laws about offensive material that violates community standards,
but the loose wording is easy to get around, even by FCC chairman
Michael Powell (son of Colin Powell). Currently, a station can't
get in trouble unless a listener records the broadcast with the
offense, notes the offense down, and sends it in to the FCC. Normal
complaint calls or letters with no records will not be substantial
for the commission, and since not everybody has a tape recorder
rolling all the time, people get by. To solve this the FCC could
t
ry and monitor
some of the offending stations themselves, if not all the time,
at least during a short period of time where they could notice
for themselves what kind of smut is being put on the air, and
violating laws that have been set forth by congress. it is quintessential
that laws get set in place sooner than later, because our society
is crumbling when we see teenage girls strip down to their thongs
on internationally televised TV and have them be known as "role
models" and "idols", and the smut that is played
on the air, either by the talk show hosts or through the hateful
and profanity-full music, such as by the rapper Eminem or the
rock group Papa Roach, is being accepted by all into their daily
lives, and those names are becoming common in every household.

FCC - The Federal Communications Commission Official Website. Lots of official jargon, but hard to navigate and not too interesting. Dr. Laura - The good doctor's official website has webcasting, literature, and a store.
