Default Rightwingers Claim Their Stranglehold on Talk Radio is Tantamount to Religious Freedom

Ownership limits need to come way down. No company should be allowed to
own more than 24 stations. Bill Clinton really ****ed-up when he
deregged broadcasting.- Hide quoted text -

24! So many? Why not just 1,2, or 3? Why let anyone "own" a
broadcast station? Broadcast stations should all be government owned
and operated.
Heck, why not just farm out the entire "Progressive" brainwashing
propaganda lieing machine to Beijing, Tehran, Moscow and London? The
highest bidder! They'll be happy to run it entirely under their own
budget and we get "Progressive" G-A-R-B-A-G-E 24 x 7 for free.

Yeah, nothing but Huffington all day and all night. Democracy Now
everyday of the year.


Hitler was a right winger.

As far as station ownership, corporate ownership was never a good idea.
There were originally limits on the number of stations a network could own
outright (5, IIRC). Deregulation was a bad thing that led to
megacorporations owning hundreds of stations (thousands in some cases). Some
cities have more than 30 stations, all or nearly all owned by just 2 or 3
corporations.
