| Message | Nanny-state approach? We feel that it is necessary to prevent the media from turning into a "nanny"! We must protect our children from manipulation by the media, we must ensure to our children the right to receive correct information. |

| Message | We appreciate the point of view of the RSDP but we do not share it. We believe the Rutanian media are adult enough to do without such legislation, and we oppose a 'court culture' where people sue because they saw something offensive when watching the TV. |
