Censorship on MTV has been the subject of debate for years. MTV, the first and most popular music television network in the U.S., has come under criticism for being too politically correct and sensitive, censoring too much of their programming. MTV altered or removed shows from the channel's schedule and music videos were censored, moved to late-night rotation, or banned entirely from the channel. == Political correctness == MTV came under criticism for being too politically correct and sensitive when it came to censorship. This was most prevalent in the eventual decline of the hit show ''Jackass''. The creators of ''Jackass'' often felt that MTV's producers did not let the show run its free course due to the excessive restraints placed on the Jackass team. MTV's influence also affected its famous animated program, ''Beavis and Butt-head''. In the wake of controversy that followed a child burning down his house after allegedly watching the show, "producers moved the show from its original 7 p.m. time slot to a late-night, 11 p.m. slot. Also, Beavis' tendency to flick a lighter and scream the word "fire" was removed from new episodes, and controversial scenes were removed from existing episodes before rebroadcast.〔(Censorship & Scandals: Beavis & Butt-head )〕 Some of the edits were so extensive that when series creator Mike Judge compiled his Collection DVDs he found out that "some of those episodes may not even exist actually in their original form". The Parents Television Council has argued that much of the censored material on MTV is easily discernible because of the context in which it is presented. The Parents Television Council is also concerned about what messages are being communicated to young viewers though the lens and language of the reality television played on MTV. The finding suggests a horribly unrealistic portrayal of "reality" with harsh, demeaning and sexualized dialogue. While women were usually the receiver of the slandering language, they also were more likely than men to be negative to themselves and to other women. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Censorship on MTV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
