CNN was given a great medium, and through hard work I might add. There were also games played around FoxNews being given access to cable slots too. I had to wait years before getting FoxNews on my cable service.
Then CNN went postal. It just gave up being a decent news provider, and went full time propaganda.
So many of the networks followed suit.
Individual stations have to explain why their licensing should be renewed. They have to explain how they provide news and services to the community.
It would seem to me they are only providing propaganda these days. The FCC should deny a few licenses in major markets. I think we’d see some improvement immediately.
Take NBC NY off the air. Take ABC LA off the air.
That should about do it.
If they could come up with a plan to provide non-baised well balance programming, let them back on the air, but monitor them.
