Viacom should drop affiliation with MTV networks

This petition was published by jameson hall on Jun 07, 2008

We, the undersigned, call on Viacom to cut off its affiliation with MTV and BET networks. These networks show programs that no one should be watching, but especially children. These shows like Real World and Tila Tequila target young teens as their audience. They are teaching these kids improper morals and irresponsible behavior.

The music videos that are shown on these networks are innapropriate as well. They teach kids to disrespect women, that drugs are cool and a great way to make money, and use very explicit language. It gives them a false view of the lifestyle of a drug dealer or gang member.

I suggest that Viacom cuts off its affiliation with these networks and goes back with the CBS networks. CBS has at least some educational and family oriented programming instead of none like MTV and BET.

If Viacom is concerned with what programming is best for their viewers, then they should cut off ties with these networks. If they only care about making money the fastest way then they will probably stay with them.

Hopefully this petition will open up Viacom's eyes to what is best for its viewers.
