FILE - In this file image released by FX, a scene is shown from the FX original series, "Sons of Anarchy." Television executives who spoke to the media recently about the tragic shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., say the events bothered them, but none offered concrete examples of how it is changing what they put on the air, or if that is necessary.
