Roughly half of Americans surveyed by think tank The Freedom Forum say the media currently has too much freedom.  Of those surveyed, 49% said the media was too free and 39% said there was too much government censorship.  Roughly 59% said the current amount of government regulation of TV entertainment was "just right," while 16% said there is "too much" and 21% said there is "too little."

When it came to FCC regulations of different mediums, 65% said daytime TV should continue to be regulated, followed by daytime radio (63%), daytime cable TV (55%), nighttime radio (50%), nighttime broadcast TV (49%), and nighttime cable programs (45%).  Also of interest: 49% of those surveyed said the current regulations in place for daytime/early evening television should be extended to all 24 hours, and 54% said that cable television should be held to the same standards.

However, despite the pro-regulation feelings of the respondents, 81% still said that parents should be "primarily" responsible for determining what is appropriate material for their children.  Only 14% said that was a broadcaster's job and just 5% said it should be up to the government.

When it came to government censorship of information on terrorism, 50% said there was not enough access to such knowledge, with only 15% saying there was too little and 31% indicating there was just enough.

The annual State of the First Amendment survey polled 1000 respondents via phone between May 6 and June 6 of this year.  The full results of the survey can be found here.
