It shouldn’t be their job, that’s my point.
If you want to make the case that the FCC should even exist in the first place, you might find the constitutional justification for their existence under the commerce clause. They should regulate the signal strength of stations to ensure that business can be successfully conducted over the airwaves.
The control of content should be strictly a matter for the markets. If a station fails to deliver the content the public wants to hear, any member of the public is free to try another station. The market will develop enough stations that the majority of the people will find what they are looking for.
If you happen to be in the small minority that doesn’t agree with anything the multitude of stations are offering, you are free to throw your radio out the window and buy a book or get a hobby.
Government enforced content is the hallmark of a facist state, not a free state. And I want to live in a free state.
Unlimited behavior in a public space is the hallmark of a libertarian state.
Reasonable controls of public space is the hallmark of a Constitutional state.
If you happen to be in the small minority that doesn’t agree with pornography being broadcast on public airwaves, you are free to throw your radio out the window and buy a book or get a hobby.
My contention is that I am not a minority. We have been changing the channels and avoiding Howard Stern because Americans, in general, are a live and let live kind of people. A minority who like to roll around in pig slop have made it impossible for us to walk outside our doors without getting muddy.
So, we'll scream real loud and see if we can generate a discussion and find out who is really in the minority.
We have had " BLUE LAWS ", which are much, much, MUCH looser, now, than they have ever been.
BANNED IN BOSTON, is NOT just the named of some of band; rather, it was something that regularly occurred to movies, plays, and books. All states had such laws, and did/does the Federal Government.You may not like this, but even if you could manage to invent a time machine, you'd still have to put up with such laws, here, unless you went backwards more than 400 years.
