Critics object to a government-owned utility putting out what they say is pornography.

David Fowler, a former Republican state senator who now heads the Family Action Council of Tennessee, contends there is no excuse for a government-identity peddling porn.

Fowler says, The government simply should not offer pornography stations on cable networks they own.

But the E-P-B says it has a free speech mandate not to censure a diverse programming menu, and it has strict limits on underage people accessing adult movies.

Under those circumstances, courts have held that government identities CANT arbitrarily edit their entertainment offerings.
