| Description | Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., wants MTV to cancel its forthcoming show "Buckwild" and called its portrayal of young people in his home state "just wrong."
Set in the West Virginia capital of Charleston and nearby Sissonville, W.Va., "Buckwild" "is an authentic comedic series following an outrageous group of childhood friends from the rural foothills of West Virginia," according to the show's website.
In a letter, Manchin asked MTV president Stephen K. Friedman "to reconsider airing this show."
"Instead of showcasing the beauty of our people and our state, you preyed on young people, coaxed them into displaying shameful behavior," Manchin wrote in the letter dated Dec. 7, "and now you are profiting from it."
