If Rather were the slightest bit hard on himself, he would have resigned the minute the forgery fiasco unraveled. He would not have let his supporting cast get thrown out on the street while he was still drawing a paycheck with so many zeroes it would give liberal tax-hikers the vapors.

These two shows have contained scenes in which characters are shown having sex and topics such as masturbation, incest, bestiality, and necrophilia are routinely discussed.

You're being told that the TV rating system is enough to protect children, that it's ultimately up to parents to do something about the problem caused by Hollywood. This to me is an amazing dodge. The ratings system has been an inconsistent, inaccurate, arbitrary and capricious mess.
