We do indeed get the programming that we deserve, even if we aren't clamoring
for it. I also suspect that if we were to be offered something different and
better (unlike what cable does) it would do pretty well.
As to the "accuracy" of audience measurement -- how do you know? What's more
accurate.
Free market and moral responsibilities are tough things to square.

Well I must admit, I am not really familiar with how much or little of the NAB
code the Nets follow.
I also realize we are getting the TV programming the majority has clammord for,
at least according to focus groups and audience measurement. All that is of
questionable accuracy, in my mind.
I do strongly feel that even though we are adults we shouldn't always get what
we want.
I think with the right to exclusive use of RF spectrum, there is a moral
responsiblilty to try to inflluence society to improve it's overall cultrue
rather than pandering to the desire to be tittilated.
I must congratulate the TV nets for actually doing that with quite a lot of
programming. Some prime programs do carry good moral messages.
I truely believe in a free market society, but also feel the need for some
gov't regulation. Look at the chaos of bankrupt airlines that has resulted
largely from the de-commishioning of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
