Media - Good citizens?
I find it difficult to agree with those who seem to argue against doing a right thing; especially, when children are involved...
Cliff Kincaid writes for Accuracy in Media, a website that monitors the media. In this article, he discusses media responsibilty (or not):
"As explained by William A. Donohue in his book, The Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union (page 296), the ACLU adopted as its policy a statement that while it is appropriate to prohibit the production of child pornography by sexually exploiting children, 'It is inappropriate, unnecessary and unconstitutional to prohibit the publication, sale, or distribution of such printed or visual materials.'"
"In other words, once the child-porn material has been produced, it can be freely distributed under the First Amendment."
