From powerful Chinese-built radio transmitters somewhere in Albania, a torrent of anti-Soviet diatribe pours forth each day. Though Russia, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria try to jam the broadcasts, a large part of Eastern Europe can readily hear Peking's attempts to turn the East-bloc countries against their Soviet Big Brother.

Among other things, he has criticized suggestive commercials (Noxzema's "Take It All Off" ad) and overly permissive programs (ABC's short-lived Turn On).
