    Why The FCC Should Die

    A compeling argument.

    "Its justification for existence was weak 70 years ago, but advances in technology since then have eliminated whatever arguments remained. Central planning didn't work for the Soviet Union, and it's not working for us. The FCC is now an agency that does more harm than good."

    It'd be more compelling if he provided the detailed explanation behind each of the FCC's decisions.

    Simply providing the decision and assuming a facial expression of horror isn't enough.

    Failing to provide those details serves to lead the reader to the writer's desired conclusion, but it doesn't necessarily lead us any closer to the truth.

    This is a typical Michael Moore tactic, although here I believe it's a result of lazy writing rather than overarching liberal evil.

    I would rather have censorship than listen to all that trash that Stern and his croonies broadcast.

    the only censorship should be a finger changing the radio/tv station.
    **I just have nothing cool enough to put here**

    Remember why the latest round of whining started. We were watching a sports event when we had a nipple shoved in our kids faces.

    Should our censor fingers known about that?
