Pretty slimy. I'm disgusted. This administration is about as evil as they come. Nothing like a taliban-like secret morals council to tell a group of people what shows they can enjoy and what shows they can't. |
and this is department of education money! with education as under funded as it is, should we really be paying to closed caption 'scooby doo'? especially when the cc'ing charter of the DE is for television that is "educational, news or informational". and it is hardly a right wing ploy. i mean, they're still closed captioning charlie rose. |
if the government is involved, they should probably caption all of it. I think the stations should be the ones responsible for this sort of thing. In fact, I thought they were.. |
Though I suppose it should be all or nothing but then again, I'm not entirely opposed to establishing fair parameters especially if we are talking about scarce funds in the first place, but those guidelines should be made public as should the names of the people making these decisions...I mean, it's not national security. Well, not yet. |
The FCC mandated captioning for all cable and broadcast programming That's kind of long. There is a site which summarizes some of the stuff here I don't know how reliable he is which is why I read (though not very carefully) and posted both. |
I don't know why I said this. That does bother me, but I meant something else and now I can't remember what. That is all. Can I go to bed now? |
