If you look back in my posting history you will find that one of my constant objections is that the infrastructure of communication is completely in enemy hands, and that conservatives need to attack and destroy this enemy "air" force or we will never win this war.
I argue that when such communications systems did not exist, people would speak on the court house steps, and they were available to all regardless of their political opinions.
Technology has created a monopoly on the means of communications and given liberals an amplified voice to the public, while we must still make do by shouting from the steps of the court house.
I argue that this is inherently wrong, and that if any communication system exists, then the 1/3-1/2 of the population that agrees with conservative ideas should have just as much right to access as do the liberals who control it, regardless of whether they "own" it or not.
The spectrum, which is what is actually being signaled through by all those electronic devices, is the property of everyone, and this is why the congress has created the FCC to regulate it.
Technology created the telegraph, and that begat the wire service. Journalism is inherently critical of “the man in the arena” who gets things done for society, therefore journalism is inherently socialist. The wire service (read, the AP), whatever else it is, is a mechanism by which people of the trade of journalism agree among themselves as to what is, and is not, news. And as Adam Smith predicted, the result is a conspiracy against the public.Now, because transmission bandwidth cost is approaching zero, the raison d’ être of the wire service - the conservation of expensive bandwidth in the dissemination of news - is obsolete. All that remains is the conspiracy against the public.
