The 1996 Telecommunications Act is the MUCH more insidious actor.

How so? Can you explain, or should I look it up?

I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can't recall what it's about.

It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it's on YT, but search and ye shall find

Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?
