That's Not The Point Tom

Mark Eby — 5/1/2003 12:49:04 PM (archived)

Whether or not conservative opinion is more popular, the issue is having only one side of a debate available in a media market. Without both sides of an opinion available people will not hear both sides of the issue or be able to judge the relative BS quotient. While I hav eno problem with public entertainers suffering the economic impact of public dislike, I do have a problem with a regulatory environment favoring only the most popular opinions being heard in news media. We don't need the US media becoming like Al-Jazeera.

Regards,
Mark
