AFA and the FCC
In looking for an old letter from the AFA I found the following links. The AFA just lost a lot of credibility in my opinion.

I am not doubting your good intentions, but we must also remember that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." .. And I am not defending the FCC. Although I would like to point out that we as christians should hold ourselves to higher standards and make sure that the information we provide (especially when it is from such an influential source) is complete and accurate less it compromise our credibility and our witness. Which is what I believe has happened in this case. And this does more to push people away from Christ than to draw them closer.
We, as citizens have been given a responsibility to be informed and aware of the happenings in our country, but we as christians are obligated to not only be informed but also to be active in the administrating of our country. Even though so many christians walk around in a stupor, I believe that we need to take this responsibility seriously. And that it is to our shame when we don't.
Many christians believe that "we are being fed things gradually to dull our sensitivity" and it rather irks me. I do not believe that we are being "fed" anything, and I do not necessarily agree that anyone has the right to legislate morality.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis
