"Caroline Eichenberg toils away in her homey cubicle, watching television. Monday thru Friday, 7-1/2 hours a day, she keeps tabs on dramas, sitcoms and reality shows. It would be a slacker's dream job in any other workplace. Here at the Parents Television Council, though, its called intelligence gathering. In the battle for America's airwaves, Eichenberg and her fellow analysts deliver the data to wage an increasingly effective, and controversial, assault on prime-time 'indecency.'"
