Since you seem intent on berating Bush for a supposed slight, how old are these shows you want captioned? Bewitched was on the list wasn't it? Wonder why Clinton didn't caption it for you. Did you berate him about it? That isn't a rhetorical question.
As a matter of fact, Clinton tried the same thing and failed too... And yes I was upset then too...
"Similar efforts to censor captioning in 1998 were met by a massive, nationwide outcry of consumer protest. (There are 28 million deaf Americans. Go figure.) These censorship efforts failed, in part, because then-Department of Education Secretary Richard W. Riley affirmed that the government should not “supercede the individual judgment of millions of deaf Americans” nor should the Department single out particular television programs resulting in a denial of access for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. "
The age of the shows are irrelevant because you are implying the older shows aren't worth CC'ing. Fine, don't caption the History Of the Bismark, or D-Day, Fuggit don't caption anything older than 2003. How about them apples.
Caption them all or REQUIRE the companies to caption them... That is all that I ask.
