When I was a child in the late 40’s and 50’s, and into the 60’s, the Big Three networks controlled all the information the American people received. Cable and the internet put an end to that, and we are much better informed now than we were.

I haven’t studied this issue at all, but superficially I think this means, if implemented, instead of Drudge and the like, there will have to be conservative versions of the Huffington Post, with it’s own reporters and news stories. Science reporters can give “the other” side of global warming, abortion gov’t regulation, etc. Forgetting that the Huffington Post is liberal, it isn’t that bad as a place where libs can go to get their talking points.

We need one, regardless. Interested?

Before TV we got our news at the movie theater via MovieTone News and from radio. Jimmy Fidler, Alex Dryer and of Course Paul Harvey. My old head can't remember some of the other big names.
