3. Individual Pox stations can be challenged.
A broadcast license applies only to broadcast media, which lease the public's airwaves (yes, we own 'em) in return for serving the public interest.

When licenses come up for renewal, that's the time to start petitions to get licenses revoked. Sinclair stations are prime targets because of their shameful record of bias toward the GOP and neglect of real news.

Right wing hate radio, especially stations that carry Savage and other foamers, is also ripe for targeting, again by petition.

Demanding balance on OUR airwaves is not censorship. Attacking stations that offer only bias and propaganda with no opposing viewpoint is essential.

It's one way we can take the media back from the fascist propaganda machine.
