Talk:Meese Report

What does the report actually say?

Important article. However I would like to see a bit more info of the report's main findings. Thanks, Maikel (talk) 16:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

• Also the methodology, with perhaps a link to the citations and other sources used, and something pertinent to the history of the study conducted and published (to the anti-pornography movement's shock and dismay) during the Nixon Administration. It had been observed at the time of the latter study that never again would a Republican presidential adminstration act to commission such a study unless the conclusions had been determined from the outset in favor of harsh censorship, and that those conclusions would be articulated regardless of objective factuality.

Why is it named after Meese?

What was the Attorney General's role in this? Maikel (talk) 16:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Problems getting it published

See[1] the "Meese Commission eventually turned to Rutledge Hill, a small concern in Nashville, which published about forty thousand copies of the Final Report in an abridged version. Some Christian bookstores would not stock the work because of its graphic descriptions of movies and lengthy quotations from pornographic literature. Rutledge Hill distributed the work in a wrapper with a warning label stating it contained “extremely explicit content” that most people would find “offensive.”" Doug Weller (talk) 05:37, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
