103. The right plays victims anyway. Neither DU nor Freeperville would decide
what is "fair." You have no way of knowing whether breaking up ownership alone will fix the problem.

It's odd that you think the difficulty of unwinding private ownership of various kinds of media consistent with First Amendment and due process concerns is not worth mentioning, but re-instituting a Doctrine that worked for decades or closing stores on Sundays again would be impossible.

Reality is none of the above are impossible, but breaking up the media monopolies while respecting due process and the First
Amendment is probably the most complex of the three. And then, there would have to be ongoing monitoring. Still, I think it is ery worth doing. So is the FD.
