Note the collective mentality of cultural groups who demand their biases be reinforced by art.
Control of media and the public debate leads only to more control, and consolidation of power in the hands of fewer, more totalitarian, agents of the status quo. Imagine scenarios in which "art" must be approved by the state or (other controlling forces) because specific ideas and content are acceptable, and no others. But it is not necessary to imagine, and one need only observe these forces at work.
