Line 43:
===Schindler's List===
As a congressman in the 1990s, Coburn protested NBC's airing of the movie ''[[Schindler's List]]''. Coburn said in airing the movie NBC had taken television "to an all-time low, with full-frontal nudity, violence and profanity". He also said the broadcast should outrage parents and decent-minded individuals everywhere. Coburn described the airing of ''Schindler's List'' as, "...irresponsible sexual behavior...I cringe when I realize that there were children all across this nation watching this program." Many people disagreed with this statment. He later wrote in his book 'Breach of Trust' that he considered this one of the biggest mistakes in his life and that while he still feels the material was unsuitable for television that he feels like the way he handled it was very poor.
