The FCC is not about to step up to the plate and challenge broadcast journalism. It is a stretch to suggest that even the SCOTUS is willing to be independent of the consensus of journalism - the consensus of journalists that journalism is objective. After all, only one justice of the Supreme Court (Thomas) refuses to read the newspapers. All the others subject themselves to the influence of negative, superficial, arrogant journalism. And this is the same bunch that upheld McCain-Feingold, which makes no sense as law if you understand that the press which does not include broadcasting is protected, by the First Amendment, from any governmental requirement to be "fair."But then we ought at least to try, by suing the FCC and its licensees. Certainly, we need not wait for Congress to do anything courageous like that!
