The notion that journalism can regularly produce a product that violates the fundamental interests of media owners and advertisers ... is absurd.

One survey that I saw that was published I think in Variety or Electronic Media within the last three weeks says that now the average hour of radio in the United States has 18 minutes of commercials.

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.

Our existing media system today is the direct result of government laws and subsidies that created it.

When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

If you look at the history of broadcasting, what you find is the National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association whose mission is to protect the interests of the commercial broadcasters.

And they've got to be held accountable; our broadcasting system has to be made accountable; and unless it is, it's going to be very hard to change anything else for the better in this country.

So the competition isn't once you got the license, running the station; it's getting the license.

Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

And understand that scarce spectrum is used today for example for cell phone operators, they have to pay for the airwaves they use, for their services.

If the Internet is worth its salt, it has to help arrest the forces that promote inequality, monopoly, hypercommercialism, corruption, depoliticization and stagnation.
