There should be a thousand news providers in every market, each with a distinct point of view. Wait a minute. There are. They’re called blogs.

There should be no F.C.C.

There should be many T.V. stations with different points of view – not the phony “objectivity” (i.e. standard statism) of the networks.

Fox is a part alternative – but it shares many of their assumptions. Nor is a Republican fan club the same as free market supporting television news and current affairs service.

It is like American newspapers, they are (mostly) part of the liberal left.

But they all pretend to this “objective” stance.

Perhaps it is the school of journalism sickness.

There should be no “fair and balanced” claims (by Fox or anyone else).

It should be “this is our point of view and we are proud of it – listen and watch”.
