The real issue is that the "public" is turning away from decency, morals, faith, respect for western and american traditional values. It's not about the stupid NFL ratings or Conan O Brien..please. Its about devaluing the family unit/father figures, softening on crime, accepting rogue behavior and vulgarity and disrespect for one another. THAT is the real issue.

society is much coarser and respect for human life and each other is failing badly.....but who wants to have any responsibility, do whatever you want to...... not working out well so far
