Pemra‘ s directive to private television channels not to air “indecent content” was bound to be taken apart. By the conservatives, because this was a too-little-too-late, and by the liberals, because of their obvious aversion to such censorship. In the US, the Federal Communications Commission (their Pemra) used to be far more prudish than it is now. Well, because creative types generally (not always) happen to be socially liberal and permissive themselves. Even filmmakers who make sappy, patriotic war movies that cash in base patriotism, are socially liberal in their personal lives and that seeps into their art, even if unconsciously.
