Comrade TM.

I just can't comprehend how you can advocate giving the government MORE power and not see how that takes power away from people

Telecommunications Act of 1996 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Framework

The 1996 Act sought to foster competition among companies that use similar underlying network technologies (e.g., circuit-switched telephone networks) to provide a single type of service (e.g., voice). For example, it creates separate regulatory regimes for carriers providing voice telephone service and providers of cable television, and a third for information services.



Its NOT more power , the power is already in the peopls hands

There are restrictions on over-the-air broadcasting, child.

Over-the-air broadcasters can't show porn, and can't use profane language.
OTA (& cable) broadcasters can't run cigarette or alcohol ads.
Ham Radio and CB Radio licensees can't transmit outside of certain wattage limits.

Thanks for contributing so little to the discussion

It has everything to do with your op.

Free airtime is a big part of solving the money in elections problem

Unfortunately, you have just learned the unwritten law.

"for an instant thread derail, just add truthmatters".

Yeap and we can add a new one which says they have to show so much of each candidate without charging them for commercail time.

Why do you people HATE the American peoples rights so much?

Neither you, nor anyone else has the right to force people to labor for them. That's called slavery.

You can't do that without violating the laws of our country.

And, besides, how will you force the networks to run them when people will see them? Look what they are doing with the PSA's they have to run now. All of them run at 4:00 in the morning on Sunday, when advertisers won't pay for time slots because they know people are not watching.

Oh, another thing. Why are you not advocating this for newspapers and magazines? Is it because most of them are left-wing?

 

[Truthmatters]

what law is that rat?

 

[Truthmatters]

mags dont use our airwaves you silly git

 

[Rat in the Hat]

what law is that rat?

Abolition of slavery for one.
Taking of private property without due process for two.
Freedom of speech and the press for three.

If you are going to compel one branch of the press to do your bidding, then it is only fair that you compel all of them to give up their freedom.

Why won't you stop torturing that dog of yours?

When will you stop lying?

What caused your brain damage?

Etc.

Comrade TM.

Hey, doesn't Obama's pal Hugo Chavez have a state-run media??

They have the same problems there that we have here. The private media corporations spew forth crony capitalism propaganda constantly so the state had to intervene and provide citizens with facts and news.

The MSM are not news companies. Maybe 1/10 is news, the rest is propaganda telling you what your opinions on matters should be.
