AVOIDING VIOLENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Laurence Tribe]
[Commentary] Violent television programming is speech protected by the First Amendment. At the most fundamental level, any attempt to regulate such protected speech will fail because it will be impossible to define “impermissible” depictions of violence. The First Amendment forbids more-intrusive, centralized, one-size-fits-all regulations when such less restrictive, more individualized, and more narrowly tailored means are available.
