PBS rocks. I was up until 2am last night for this thing
they did on Enron.

PBS and dailyrotten. Bread and butter.

And what of the news you'd like to watch, but because it may have a
negative impact on the news media's parent company, it isn't reported?

Well said. If Enron had owned CNN...

quo where pictures of Cho draw viewers, which equates to higher ratings,
which equates to higher ad revenue, which equates to higher salaries for
the executives?...

I don't even know (or care) who "Cho" is. Why? Because I choose what I
watch. Do you? If you don't, that is a problem. But if you do, then why
do you want to choose what =I= and everybody else watches?

Settle down. Nobody said anything about choosing for you.

You want to make movies about how drugs, violence and promiscuous sex are
genuinely bad, go make them. It's not all that hard.

LOL! Hell, movie making is cheap and easy, isn't it?

Uh.... that's not quite the case. You said:
Should stick with the status quo where pictures of Cho
draw viewers, which equates to higher ratings...

The status quo comes about because we, collectively, are choosing it.
Further you state:

Movies about how drugs, violence and promiscuous sex are genuinely bad would
be better than Snoop Dog's Girls Gone Wild extravaganza and all its
miscellaneous internet-porn spinoffs...

While that is a neutral statement of opinion, its relevance only comes
from the fact that we, collectively, are choosing differently from this
opinion. The post implies this is a Bad Thing. By implication, you
would have us choose differently, or be chosen for differently.

You want to make movies about how drugs, violence and promiscuous sex are
genuinely bad, go make them. It's not all that hard.

1: Yes, it is. Look at YouTube.
2: If it isn't, then you need money. That means you need viewers or
backers. Viewers mean you're back making what viewers want to see.
Backers mean you're making what the backers want us to see.

Grab a super-8 camera and =make= the movie you want us to see. Then put
it on YouTube and see if we =do= want to see it.

It's cheaper than flying.

"GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) - A 15-year-old boy charged with attempted aggravated
murder after a shooting shattered some windows at a high school told police
he was influenced by a television documentary on the 1999 Columbine
shootings in Colorado."

I'm just sayin'...

Why do we know the names and faces of Clebold, Harris, Malvo, Muhammed, Cho,
Whitman, Manson, Bundy.... but we'd have to do an internet lookup to
recall the name of the Holocaust-survivor professor who gave his life
protecting his VT students?
