Tell a friend:














The market has to be a two way street. Even if eleventy billion people subscribe to cable services, only 5 companies own the lion's share of the media outlets. This is not a free market.
In a free market, anyone or any group of people with the capital should be able to create their own content, and then contract with a distributor to get that content broadcasted on whatever service is available (broadcast, cable, satellite, internet, what have you). The FCC creates a situation where most of the startup capital has to be devoted to buying the right to broadcast through licensing and other fees. Nevermind that all of us have that right naturally. per the Constitution.
So, My original argument stands. End the FCC, and you will actually allow media competition, and the creation of the media marketplace.
I said: "more people have access to fast net".
Anyone can startup a video-by-net service, eg using set-top boxes or even to the PC, and offer whatever channels they want.
Where are those startups? Maybe it's not so easy to compete with CNN and maybe distribution isn't the only problem, or even the main problem.
Please provide your explanation of the above without invoking hypothetical future FCC (aka bogeyman) overregulation. (What regs?)
I say that a credible news channel requires a large investment in correspondents, anchors and other talent, plus the production. The market is saturated and many consummers are not aware of the low quality of current channels. It is a market failure.
Music-radio is a different story, so let's stick to the subject here. No weaseling out.
All of the major traditional media outlets.... radio, TV, what have you, is all owned by the same 5 companies. Therefore, it is completely analogous and valid to draw a comparison between network news and radio.
The FCC is quick to shut down internet radio. Therefore, they will be equally quick to put the kibosh on internet news video, when it threatens the traditional outlets.
QED
By "outlet" you seem to mean broadcaster over the radiowaves. These are regulated, spectrum is limited.
However, one can use the internet for transport. You can get The Onion TV channel, after all. Of course, The Onion isn't an expensive real news org and they don't many viewers.
You are asked to explain why we don't have a free unbiased video news channel over the net.
Not music.
The reason we don't have a free unbiased video news channel over the net is because the traditional media monopoly will not allow it. They use the FCC as their cudgel.
That's your answer. Ignore this truth at your own peril.
peter was like, "hmmm, we agree..."
then he's like, "Well, i like the recession!" "Now we disagree!" lol
RON PAUL/PETER SCHIFF would be an awesome ticket.
i) cable ops won't carry english al-jazeera, not because of FCC. (btw, eng. al-jazeera is real watchable, can't speak to the arabic version.)
ii) there is a widespread 'net daily 1-hour news: Democracy Now, hosted by Amy Goodman. It's funded by voluntary contributions, but you have to be generous to contribute, cos all can watch, so I have no idea if that is Libertarian kosher. Also, it bends pretty left.
Consumption is high
investment is high (paradoxical considering interest rates)
government spending is higher the heaven
current account is in the billions or trillions hell i dont even know but astronomical!
=Recession and have been in one for a long time
take GDP and shove it up W's ass!
Obviously, the bald headed advisor is hired and paid by CNN to lie to the public. He cant be more stupid.
