Media Montage Podcast 82: Censorship



You can't say that! Bruce and Larry take a look at censorship in media. They examine the spectrum of censorship from outright government oppression to defacto censorship by corporations, to chilling effects to self-censorship. 

They visit self policing censorship by media in the forms of the Comics Code, movie and TV ratings and the ill-advised Parental Advisory stickers of the 1980s.

What effects do these various censorship methods have on content? Is censorship ever advisable? Why does Bruce want to be censored? Were the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television really that bad?  We use those seven dirty words and a few others, so be warned. Sensitive material in episode 81 of the Media Montage Podcast!
