Reply #48: The airwaves DO belong to the people

And the companies that get licences to operate TV and Radio stations get them at a HUGE discount because they're supposed to operate the stations in the best interest of the public.

Otherwise, they should be paying the actual fair value of those licenses if they're just going to promote their own corporate agenda. OR they should be jailed for fraud. Promoting opinion as fact deliberately misleads the public, and that IS fraud, and fraud is illegal... Free speech doesn't give someone the right to lie to sell their product, in this case war so GE and folks like that can manufacture weapons.

Who was it that said something about military-industrial complex and that we should beware of it?

Oh yeah, it was a president, and a Republican one at that.
