Still, I would rather see the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 repealed, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting abolished, the setasides for non-commercial broadcasting stations (both radio and television) done away with, and in fact, the FCC abolished and the airwaves treated like private property.
The creation of the Federal Radio (later Communications) Commission was one way to get arount the Constitutional prohibition on Congress passing any anti-free speech laws concerning broadcasting.
What the congressman from Colorado is proposing is still only a baby step toward total freedom for broadcasters.
