"This is a persistent criticism of Lieberman -- that he works with a broad brush and lacks direct knowledge of the products and programs he goes after. Several entertainment-industry lobbyists and reporters remember a news conference Lieberman and Bennett called in 1994 to condemn media violence. When a reporter asked Lieberman to name a favorite TV program, the senator cited 'The McNeil-Lehrer Report' on PBS. Pressed for the name of an entertainment program, Lieberman hesitated, seemingly unable to come up with an answer. Several people then overheard an aide whispering, 'Touched by an Angel.' Lieberman immediately named the wholesome CBS drama as a favorite."

Now, that's scary. I'm for raising standards, but I don't want anyone who watches religious programming in charge of the process!
