And don't be so quick to separate Congress from the FCC. Congress created the FCC and controls it to this day. And if certain members get their wish and re-instate a souped up Fairness Doctrine, it'll be the FCC policing it. See the connection? But, after all, you were just joking. (I should have known from the guffaws echoing through cyber space). BTW: Johnny Carson was right.

Scary that you didn't realize it. But, oh, well, as Johnny Carson often said if you have to explain them, then they aren't funny. BTW, the FCC has regulations. It isn't Congress. Jill: It was a joke.

So, then, should there be some government agency prohibiting newspapers from doing the same thing? Man, of all the dumb things you've written here, that's possibly the dumbest. Remember? "Congress shall make no law....." And you're teaching kids? Scary! “I almost wish there was a FCC rule prohibiting the networks from interviewing potential presidential candidates until they actually declare they are running.”

The audio was awful,and the picture was worse that I ever saw while watching early Bills home games in the 60's, with my coat hanger acting as my antenna. Why are these low class outfits allowed to purchase these rights? The Yankees broadcast on WNGS is deplorable at best.
