Jerry's last judgment

The BBC governors' backing for the Springer musical is right. After
2,000 years, Christianity can survive a barrage of swear words

So, having given due weight to the 63,000 complaints they received
about Jerry Springer - The Opera, the BBC governors have vindicated the
programme makers. It is an important decision because in the febrile
religious atmosphere after 9/11, the issue of blasphemy has become much
more politically fraught, especially since the religious right has been
flexing its muscles to good effect.
The governors' programme complaints committee was concerned to decide
whether the decision to broadcast the opera was in breach of the
relevant editorial standards, codes and guidelines. But the theological
arguments are equally important.
