"David Eduardo" wrote: "Frank Dresser" wrote in message ... OK, my first instinct said the FCC was getting lobbyed to maintain the status quo by the local stations. So what was motivating the FCC? The motive was a belief in the concept that local media reinforces the Republic. No kidding... there were frequent references to things like this back in that era. It was believed local voices were important. I think the FCC used the newspaper model for localism, not undetrstanding that newspapers are restricted by distribution, not localism. OK, the issue of editorializing on public radio stations came up before the Supreme Court in 1984. A quote from the decision: "Indeed, the pivotal importance of editorializing as a means of satisfying the public's interest in receiving a wide variety of ideas and views through the medium of broadcasting has long been recognized by the FCC; the Commission has for the past 35 years actively encouraged commercial broadcast licensees to include editorials on public affairs in their programming." But the fact is, due to the restrictions and potential for litigation, fines, protests, nearly no station did editorialize until later that decade when Fariness was revoked. And the footnote on the quote: "[ Footnote 14 ] In 1949, finding that "programs in which the licensee's personal opinions are expressed are [not] intrinsically more or less subject to abuse than any other program devoted to public issues," the FCC concluded that overt licensee editorializing, so long as "it is exercised in conformity with the paramount right of the public to hear a reasonably balanced presentation of all responsible viewpoints" is "consistent with the licensee's duty [468 U.S. 364, 383] to operate in the public interest." Editorializing by Broadcast Licensees, 13 F. C. C. 1246, 1253, 1258 (1949). At the time, of course, this decision applied with equal force to both noncommercial educational licensees and commercial stations. The FCC has since underscored its view that editorializing by broadcast licensees serves the public interest by identifying editorial programming as one of 14 "major elements usually necessary to meet the public interest, needs and desires of the community." FCC Programming Statement, 25 Fed. Reg. 7295 (1960). The Commission has regularly enforced this policy by considering a licensee's editorializing practices in license renewal proceedings. See, e. g., Greater Boston Television Corp. v. FCC, 143 U.S. App. D.C. 383, 402, 444 F.2d 841, 860 (1970); Evening Star Broadcasting Co., 27 F. C. C. 2d 316, 332 (1971); RKO General, Inc., 44 F. C. C. 2d 149, 219 (1969). " Still, nearly nlo station editorialized in the 50's, 60's and 70's. All they needed to do is look at Red Lion to see how editorials can lose the licence. I do not remember a single station that editorialized in that period, and it was out of fear. There were plenty of other ways to get the license renewed. like keeping the commercial locad below 18 minutes, running PSA,s etc., that one did not hve to jump in the fire on editorials. Snip That's not my experience. Up until 1985 all I could get was the liberal point of view on both AM and FM. I always wanted to listen to talk radio but got turned off by BS that would range center to left. The people on the left wing shows sucked cutting off anyone that has a conservative point of view so I stopped listening until there were alternatives. Left wing talk was on the FM mostly before I noticed other points of view on AM. FM is still left wing with the PBS stations. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

It is a tune out, and there is so much opinion available today, it is not needed. BUSTED!! What does that mean? You have now said it three or four times, and it is borderline incoherence. BUSTED |

David Frackelton Gleason, posing as 'Eduardo', went fishing in his panties and came up empty handed yet again before he wrote: "Steve" wrote in message s.com...
