This is unfair to a generation which has great potential and which is assaulted through all senses at a most vulnerable age. It will be difficult to roll back the damage which is being caused, particularly through the medium of television, but also through radio. Coarse language is now a regular and unremarkable feature in the media, with the use of words best suited to the locker room. The use of what the Christian denominations refer to as "the holy name" is widespread and one wonders if broadcasters would trespass on the sensitivities of other religions as lightly. There needs to be a clean up of radio and TV and a raising of standards again in the interests of our children. RTE is far from blameless in this and even last night, a programme was aired which drew the wrath of reasonable and balanced individuals. I understand the content, which was unnecessarily lewd, could be described as unsuitable viewing for anyone other than very broad-minded adults. Surely this "arty" material is not necessary and must appeal to and be watched by only a minority of viewers? There is no need to labour this point, as those who have a reasonable outlook will have had the same experience and seen the kind of content to which I object.
