That hardly settled it considering Skinner, Pavlov, materialism, etc.
But ok.
I’m fine with taking money out of political campaigns. The fairness doctrine would not work in the media world we have now. It can’t be enforced at all against cable and other media broadcasting systems that do not use public airways which was the only method the government had to get around the First Amendment.
How are you or anyone else going to make sure Public Broadcasting is “apolitical”? And how are you going to define that?
I think we should re-animate the Anti-Trust Division in the DOJ myself. And I agree that we shouldn’t have privately funded campaigns. But regulating the press isn’t what we do here. The First Amendment keeps the government out of it and that’s how it should be.
