11. There was an article here recently about what the FCC can and cannot do...and it's kind of dumb.

The article said the FCC can control certain broadcasters, but not others, depending upon what technology is used. Apparently, they don't have authority over cable. Well, guess what! That's just a loophole and the public on the receiving end of lies is misled no matter what the technology. To have such a policy is just about to have no policy. On such a basis, we apparently can't now do anything about Fox, but the radical radio shows should fall under FCC authority.

In an article here lately, someone said that no freedom should be so broad that it can permit the destruction of the govt entitling it, which does sound like a crazy policy... but I think it's where we are.
