"the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the people."

And this can only happen, as has been proven time and time again, with the free market. What Ms Ivins is advocating of course, is more government control of both content and entry into the market. No single entity could control the "dissemination of information" in a free market because it would be consumer driven. Even if you owned them all, you'd still have to give people what they want.

I would prefer a single, powerful corporate entity any day to a single, powerful government one.

This is Ms Ivin's (and the left's) opening salvo in demanding the return of the Fairness Act.

It might be funny if Molly weren't so vicious.

So, a tip of the VRWC hat to Ms Ivins. And, although I abhor profanity, she can jam this column up her.....(sun don't shine?)
