In 1941, the (FCC) commission made a ruling that came to be known as the Mayflower Decision which declared that radio stations, due to their public interest obligations, must remain neutral in matters of news and politics, and they were not allowed to give editorial support to any particular political position or candidate. (Wakipedia source material)And then along came TV, and internet information, and lobbyists, and politicians more interested in the power of office rather than service to the electorate. So, today we have turned our public broadcast news systems into a quagmire of polarized thought control.
Have you no pride left Electorate? Is self-determination something you gave up in favor of emotional driven confidence for name and party instead of qualification and character? Sad indeed because it's the first signs of a societal degradation that can no longer handle freedom of speech. (Enlightened Prisoner 12-27-20)
