I am waiting for stockholder revolts at the parent companies of CNN, CBS, etc. As the democrat party management operatives drive CNN credibility and ratings into the ground, one would hope that stockholders become livid and litiginous at the liberals destroying the franchises.
I'm waiting for a conservative legal foundation to sue the socks off of the FCC and its licensees. The tort? Broadcasting the "results" of the FL 2000 election before the last ballot was legally cast. In the hypothetical situation where time stood still while Republicans (alone) were able to know what Jeb Bush knew, but not knowing the outcome, how much would the Republican Party have been able to raise in a week (no campaign contribution limits) to buy off broadcast journalism from calling FL for Gore before the polls were closed in the conservative Panhandle area?

I put it to you that in that hypothetical situation Republicans would have raised a billion dollars. That call was

That call was a tort.

And of course CBS has plenty to answer for on Rathergate; the FCC is culpable for making CBS smug in the idea that it is always open season on Republicans, especially in the last month of an election campaign.

The truth is that, contrary to all selfrighteous claims,
the country would be better off without broadcast jounalism.

Another legal claim against the mass media deceivers:

With the campaign "reform" laws preventing unfettered private free speech (ads) we are reliant solely on the "unbiased" MSM in the final weeks of federal campigns. If that mass media can be proven to be biased, one theory might be to try to break it up under anti-trust laws.

To the extent that "campaign finance reform" regulates "the press" (by which I mean, not "journalism" but any form of publishing which does not inherently depend on government favoritism), CFR violates the plain meaning of the First Amendment.

To the extent that it merely regulates broaddcasting, it is as constitutional as the FCC - which isn't saying much since an FCC license is an unconstitutional title of nobility. This long-running thread is IMHO an excellent resource for seeing through the self-serving fog put up by the Establishment Media.
