Is self-censorship worse than regulation?

December 5th, 2004 · No Comments

The Boston Globe’s Eileen McNamara suggests that due to the recent tentative behavior of broadcasters, that perhaps “the head of the FCC is less of a threat to free speech in this country than the heads of CBS and NBC.” McNamara is referring, in this case, to those networks’ decisions to decline advertising from the United Church of Christ because of the “controversy” it might cause.

Jeff Jarvis sums up that situation very well.
