On the Media · The FCC’s Pressure Campaign to Reshape Broadcast TV · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

The free market is great in virtually every area, but the one in which it seems conservative interests are not being well served. voice-verified

That used to be the only way people communicated. voice-verified

Now it's just one in enormous kaleidoscope of ways. voice-verified

People talk to each other one-on-one, one-to-many, many-to-one. voice-verified

And yes, the FCC was created to deal with the responsible use of a limited resource. voice-verified

And our airwaves are still a limited resource, but they are far from being the sole resource that Americans have access to. voice-verified

And you're supportive of lifting national television ownership caps and allowing local broadcast ownership to grow. voice-verified

Why? voice-verified

Local news is much more influential than national news. voice-verified

And more highly viewed. voice-verified

But if you're talking about Sinclair and Nexstar, the biggest owners of broadcast stations, they're both conservative. voice-verified

So what you're really proposing is the creation of networks that are closer to your own political perspective. voice-verified

That seems to be counter to what you've been saying, though, about fairness and balance in a non-ideological way. voice-verified

And the networks, they don't mess with those. voice-verified

So what's the problem? voice-verified

These national affiliates ultimately will own more stations than the networks have affiliates. voice-verified

And they would be going into neighborhoods that don't necessarily reflect the political or cultural predilections of the owners. voice-verified

And then you're back where you started. voice-verified

Only this time, the leaning would be conservative as opposed to liberal. voice-verified

God forbid. voice-verified
