He has no evidence. It is a product of his mind. It has always been
government policy to prevent any one, or only a few, entities from
controlling the majority of the media. That includes newspapers, TV and
radio. The reason for that was to ensure variety of opinion. We had a case
here locally a year of so ago where, one of the two largest newspapers in
the area wanted to buy the other. They had to get government permission to
do so. They were denied. If it had been two bicycle factories, the
government would have no say about it. The deregulation and buy up of radio
stations is due to greed helped along by a president (passed) that had the
motto "Morals? We don't need no stinkin' morals".

To the liberal left it sounds like crap, since they promote
censorship, and have no concept of free airwaves.

You sound like a troll, calling me an "idiot" What have I written here
that is wrong? It is true that the feds are afraid of someone using
shortwave to spread beyond-the-fringe politics to a mass audience
around the country.

What's the evidence of that?


And also, they want Clear Channel to run American airwaves and only
promote "governmentally approved" politics.


Will the government force NPR to sell out to Clear Channel?
