Yglesias follows up, providing us with some policy proposals from Ed Kilgore.
But Kilgore switches the discussion almost entirely from smut to advertising. And, while I agree that advertising practices are a place where there's potentially a greater role for public involvement (possibly, but not necessarily, involving legislation). But, this isn't the kind of thing Sullivan was talking about in her original post, where she specifically was responding to concerns about the content of programming, and not the advertising.
