Then quit watching TV or listening to radio because unless you are oblivious you'd know government has been deciding what we can watch and listen to for DECADES!
The biggest arm of force they have is the FCC itself and it's licensing procedures. Why can't you listen to a radio station on 106.75 FM out of Los Angeles while living in Chicago? Easy. They won't let you. The technology is there for them to broadcast their signal to you. But then you'd be deprived of a "local" source of radio on 106.75 FM.
The same goes for TV and even cable. So unless you are willing to forgo all of those rules, you can't whine. And most people won't because they like the monopolies of their geography even though it's becoming more and more irrelavent.
And I'd assume you'd also be for getting rid of those ridiculous rules that require public broadcast stations to re-up for their licenses under the concept they are "serving the commiunity". Who cares? It's a business. Or that they no longer have to air those stupid "public service announcements".
I'm sure you would as do I. But at the same time you have to grant the argument that total lack of rules will allow porn on free TV (oh wait, there are soaps) or the F word, etc. Can't say we should have restrictions on those without the government "deciding". And you have to remember we are the government and community standards, which is the basis for many of these laws, should probably apply.
At least we still don't have the fairness doctrine which let the MSM hold a monopoly on political speech.
I have not turned on the TV in years. The last time I turned the TV was 9/11 and before that it was years. I don't want to block outlets like FOX news or some Christian programing. I'd love to see hollywood shut down cause no one watches anything they produce. Watch the liberal actors whine because they have no money. I do understand the points you are making.
