Senators Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., Hillary Rodham-Clinton, D-NY, and Herb Kohl, D-Wis., introduced the "Media Marketing Accountability Act" to the Senate in April. If passed, the bill will give the Federal Trade Commission the power to levy substantial fines against companies that market violent or "mature" products directly to children. The bill was prompted by the Senators' concerns about violence in the marketplace, including television advertising directed toward children.
