“I always had a struggle, which I still do, when you're playing a character and it's not necessarily your morals or your values. You're playing a character, but the way the media will sometimes ask you if these are your opinions, you know - they make you responsible for that, and I take issue with it because I don't believe in censorship.” IfsKnowsWayBelieveStillsSometimesCharacterValuesAsksMoralOpinionStruggleIssuesMediaResponsibleDon't BelieveCensorship Author:Katey Sagal
“American culture is no longer created by the people... A free, authentic life is no longer possible in AmericaTM today. We are being manipulated in the most insidious way. Our emotions, personalities and core values are under siege from media and cultural forces too complex to decode. A continuous product message has woven itself into the very fabric of our existence. Most North Americans now live designer lives-sleep, eat, sit in car, work, shop, watch TV, sleep again. I doubt there's more than a handful of free, spontaneous minutes anywhere in that cycle.

“The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer. It is also extremely inexpensive and easy to share material. Sharing is built into the culture and practices of the Web and has made it difficult for the subscription model to be effective.” PeopleMadeIdeasValuesCultureStrongEasyDifficultLossPracticeShareMediaMaterialsInternetModelsBuiltMade ItConsumersAttributesProvidersPublic GoodInexpensiveSubscriptionService Providers Author:Robert Waterman McChesney
