10. No, regulating TV/radio content does NOT end free speech.
the government has a compelling reason for SOME checks and balances when it comes to free speech, i mean do you not think that some parents never supervise their kids media use? that's why you can't watch rated R movies unedited on broadcast TV and need to use Netflix or something like that to do so. The FCC has to draw the line between being North Korea and allowing daytime soap operas to be uncensored, let's say. So that's why mainstream TV does bleeps and blurs.
