Larry Flynt

of focus, ‘People vs. Larry Flynt’, is a film by Milos Forman which stars Woody Harrelson as Flynt. Larry Flynt is the president and publisher of Hustler magazine. Hustler is sort of the Mad magazine of written pornography which was started in the early 1970’s.

Larry Flynt: Confronting Sex and Politics in America What has changed in the media and political culture? Why is exploitation of sex and politics on front burner of the American agenda?

I. Hustler v. Falwell II. 485 U.S. 46 (1988) III. Facts: In Hustler v. Falwell a dispute arose when Hustler Magazine, a a magazine that circulates nationwide featured a parody of an advertisement for Campari Liqueur.
