I think the bigger question is how many people still get the major networks over the airwaves?
Even if they were to lose their right to broadcast at certain frequencies, doesn't that mean diddly for people who get them via cable, DSL or satellite?
Wait...You, the alleged libertarian, actually think their is a "bigger question" in trying to infringe upon the freedom of the press?
I am wondering how much of an infringement it would actually be. Again, how many people still get television over the airwaves?
Now if he went after a Radio station it would be much different, as most people still listen to radio over the licensed broadcast frequencies.
To me it was more of his posturing and bluster, but if you read how the broadcast laws are written, the reason companies are given rights to certain bandwidth relies on them working in 'the public interest" which leads to all sorts of interpretive issues.
How much infringement would it be if we just took away some of the guns?
That well regulated militia part leads to all sorts of interpretive issues.
If you want to go with a loophole when it comes to the free press the 1st amendment specifically calls out on congress to respect a free press.
The whole concept of the FCC being able to regulate a scarce commodity (bandwidth) has been established numerous times via the courts.
and considering the people keep the RKBA, not the militias the confusion on your part is simply a matter of convenience for your gun grabbing jerk-off fantasies.
Again, this is all moot because I doubt he is actually going to do anything about it. He's triggered you idiots once again.
