Scott Lowther, a bilingual membership director for the Free Speech Coalition — an industry legal watchdog — appeared recently on Univision’s "60 Minutes" style on-air news magazine, "Aqui y Ahora" ("Here & Now").
FSC’s response to the portrayal of Lowther and the Adult industry is that the over-all nature of the show was reasonably balanced and not overly sensationalized. The coalition did take in mind that it aired during sweeps week, and "Aqui y Ahora" no doubt hoped to stir controversy and draw viewers with the show.
This is not the first special on adult entertainment the show has produced.
According to the organization, Lowther’s comments were edited to two main points: that everyone has rights and privileges under the Constitution of the U.S. to view whatever we want; and that we also have the right and privilege to do whatever we want as consenting adults within the privacy of our own bedrooms in any city in the country.
