"Why Broadcast Journalism is Unneccesary and Illegitimate!!"

"Journalism has a symbiotic relation with liberal Democrat politicians, journalists and liberal politicians are interchangable parts."

I have a theory as to why this is the case...a National Medyuh needs a National Audience which is interested in keeping up with National Issues and National Solutions to those issues. If more Power was devolved to the States, how many folks are gonna be interested in watching news about Nebraska's legislative agendas in improving access to a quality K-12 Education? No, the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd is inextricably linked to an ever-expanding Federal Leviathan...until the Consumer demands otherwise!!

"Liberals never take issue with the perspective of journalism, so liberal politicians and journalists are interchangable parts."

Yep...

"The FCC compromises my ability to compete in the marketplace of ideas by giving preferential access addresses to broadcasters, thus advantaging its licensees over me."

You know what would DESTROY the Left's hold on the Networks?! Instead of giving them FRee access to the airwaves, they ought to have to bid on those rights--that is, ABCCBSNBC--on a rotating basis every five-six years or so. We could use the proceeds--valued at multi-$Billions--to decrease taxes on individuals and corporations, and eventually the weak step-sisters like CBS would be forced to balance their coverage or lose so much audience share that they would be bought out by a more savvy (read, Conservative) investor group who sees what an undervalued corporation they have become due to their slavish devotion to Socialist Ideology!!

Hmmm. Part of the manic drive for simple, one-size-fits-all "solutions" (and don't bother us with the details, like it might sound reasonable in NYC and LA but is hopelessly out of touch in Wyoming).
