Lee Salzberger, president and general manager of WVEC-TV, and the religious right have no right to choose what television programs I watch.
They are closed-minded zealots who don the cloak of religion and believe they can speak for everyone, censoring anything in the name of God and Jesus Christ while trampling on the First Amendment.
Sarcastic and funny as it may be, Jim Amspacher (letter, Aug. 2) says he wants to ``elect more of their kind (the religious right) so we can all live our lives by their moral values and allow them to do all of our thinking for us!'' These people are dangerous! Today the First Amendment, and tomorrow they search libraries and homes for ``bad books and movies,'' and there goes the Fourth Amendment!
The censorship decision regarding ``NYPD Blue'' is reprehensible. It is an outrage that 1 percent of the people speaks for the other 99 percent.
