The FCC Chairman’s actual name is “Newton Minow”. He is still alive, 50 years after leaving the FCC; he is 87 presently. He was chairman of the Sidley & Austin law firm, where Moochelle Wookie Obama once was a law associate. He is most famous for calling broadcast television “a vast wasteland”—and that was at a time when the typical viewer could only receive three channels.

Sturgeon's Law applies to television as much as it does anything else.

Thank you, friend. And Mr. Minow truly was prescient.
