The writer of a letter to the editor at NJ.com thinks it’s time to close the cable TV loophole.
Methinks the writer has a point.
The regulation of radio and, later, television was based on their using a public resource, that is, the airwaves. In its very early days, cable was exempted from regulation on the theory that it did not use the airwaves and therefore should be exempt. (Mind you, this was back when the “fairness doctrine” still applied to broadcast media.) Cable has grown to dominate, even in areas where broadcast is freely available.
And it, like the internet, has become a disinformation superhighway (primarily for “news” organizations that lean right, because the truth leans left).
The Graham Cracker Has a Notion of Immigrants 0
Republicans play the race card because it’s the only card they have left. Otherwise, they got nothing other than their fealty to the robber barons of our New Gilded Age.
The Republican Party of my youth–the party that could include persons of integrity, such as Dwight Eisenhower, Nelson Rockefeller, and Everett Dirksen–no longer exists.
Richard Nixon’s racist Southern Strategy is all that remains of it.
