JAM,
I think you're right, but in terms of MTV, I don't believe there is any particular ideology behind their content decisions -- they simply want controversy at every turn.
They make everything look slimey. Oh, wait, that's Nick that slimes people. Oh, wait, they're owned by the same company.
While I think that MTV does get more than its share of "music biz" types, a lot of their folks are fairly typical young broadcasters who do what they do because that's what they're paid for. Or they want to continue their youthful rebellion. Do something long enough, and you start believing it's right.
They're not liberal, they're anarchists.
But then we went through many threads about MTV's programming morality when they started the Sorority Life show a couple years ago.
The thing is that they know that no matter how bad they tick young people off -- they'll still watch.
