Advice to my media colleagues for dealing with press releases from the American Family Association or Parents Television Council denouncing [network show here] as [synonym for "immoral" or "anti-Christian" here]

Just ignore them. They won't go away, but you'll feel better.

Oh, and parents: Know what your kids are watching, and talk with them about it.

Harder than it sounds, I know ...

Ignoring them is the best advice. I know that they mean well, from their perspective, but it's up to them to control what their children watch. It's not up to them to determine what I can watch. If I really wanted to have religious watchdogs dictate how I live my life, I'd invite the Taliban over.

Besides, these people need to look at the crime statistics at the DOJ's website. All violent crimes are down by 50% and more from what they were in the 70's. What problem are these groups trying to fix?
