"Anyone who messes with the content of radio could tomorrow just as easily mess with the content of newspapers, trying to make the coverage there match someone's notion of fairness."
Without regard to who is right and who is wrong with the "free speech" issue and the "fairness doctrine", there is a fundamental difference between newspapers and broadcast. We, the people, own the airways. The government, on our behalf, regulates access to the airways. Those who broadcast do so not with a fundamental right, but only through license. We, the people, don't own the newspapers. Old rule of thumb: Never argue or make an enemy out of someone who buys ink by the barrels and paper by the ton. <g> 73, Gil NN4CW _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
