Bush Tells Parents to Pay Attention to Kid’s Media Habits

In a refreshing bit of common sense, President Bush, in C-SPAN interview Sunday, lauded free speech and said parents who complain about television content, music lyrics and movies need to “pay attention to what their children listen to.” He added, “They put an off button on the TV for a reason.”

As much as we’re all for free speech, we, somehow, get an icky feeling imagining Bush seeing Janet Jackson’s breast last year and saying, “Hey, I like that!”
