Gay News and Monty Python[edit]

Hello,

I just saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdU_6jUQI9s where it is described how Mary Whitehouse's Nationwide Festival of Light tried to pursue Gay News for "blasphemy" in a published poem, and tried to prevent The Life of Brian from Monty Python from getting out. Maybe these two points deserve being described in the article. --Agatino Catarella (talk) 00:00, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced POV[edit]

Article lead currently concludes the subsequent growth in the availability of sexually explicit and violent material would suggest that it had little effect on the media or on consumers. There is no reference given.

But there is a reference later in the article for the claim In the nation as a whole, however, the impact of the Festival was much less evident than supporters had hoped, and it is thought that the openly evangelical positions espoused by the Festival's leaders had alienated a number of people who would otherwise have supported its aims. The reference does not however support the claim made.

And that paragraph goes on A much greater range of explicit material became available in the years which followed. Commercial, political and artistic pressures worked against any attempt at a stricter censorship, either by law or by voluntary agreement. That is probably true, but without a reference it is OR.

So there is much said there in Wikipedia's voice that is OR or POV or both. Andrewa (talk) 08:55, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
