since those who are supposed to be on our side don't even want us to get the information we need to make good decisions in our "democratic" society.
it is us against them, whether they call themselves democratic or republican.
the airwaves are public property in the United States and all of us should be represented in the broadcasts.
the reasoning that there are other avenues for information sounds very similar to the argument made by the banking community that the publics increased knowledge of the markets, made available through "other" sources of information, would lead to fair and honest self-regulation by the banking community.
it seems clear that a lack of rules for telecasting has led to imbalance in the very same way in the television industry as it did in banking. this is in need of re-regulation too.
when did americans become incapable of learning from our mistakes?
