Family Entertainment
Family Guy can be pretty outrageous, which is part of the fun. Now the claim is an abortion-themed episode will not be aired. This is kind of silly. For one thing, the Family Guy audience alreadys knows what to expect. Second, if you stop one particular episode, it implies you find everything else acceptable.
The paragraph that really stood out in this report, however, is:
There were few details offered about the content of the episode, but given the show's penchant for political incorrectness -- it has in the past featured a character wearing a McCain/Palin button on an SS uniform, among other flourishes -- it's unlikely Planned Parenthood would use the episode in a PSA anytime soon.
Huh? The shot at McCain and Palin may have been tasteless, but it certainly wasn't politically incorrect.

No sorry-despite efforts to make it so "Political correctness" is not a partisan problem- there are party-liners on both sides of divide.
Sorry, political correctness in general refers to what the mainstream media believes is politically correct. If you want to discuss the right's political correctness (and I'm not sure this example would apply anyway--the whole idea of political correctness as used today is about people being overly sensitive) you have to make special reference to it.
It's our word, here on the right, and any attempt to broaden its usage will be rejected.
The term "political correctness" comes from the left. The reason it's stuck as a pejorative against the left in its generic form is it fit so well.
