Which is a huge part of the issue. A completely unrelated song that just happens to have a line that could be misconstrued as offensive? Take it off the air! In the US, if you accidentally flash a nipple on television it's a huge fine. If you drop an f-bomb, it's a huge fine.
But shows like CSI and Criminal Minds can show incredible gore and violence. Network, prime time TV can show murderers, rapists, etc, and it gets excellent ratings by and large.
The media is quick to blame video games, but they never want to point the fingers at their parent companies and the programs they air.
