I don't know when you grew up but it certainly hasn't been the case for at least 30 years that conservatives had a monopoly on wanting to regulate media.
in the 80s the PMRC was headed by wives of some republican politicians but also by Tipper Gore - wife of Al Gore.
Throughout the 90s and up until 2011's Brown vs EMA there were several Democrats who either sponsored bills or called from them. Some of the one's I remember were California's Joe Baca (who was a Democrat but has since switched to Republican) and the now incarcerated Leland Yee, Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich (also now incarcerated...) and national politicians Joe Lieberman (whose witch hunt led to the creation of the ESRB) and Hillary Clinton.
