    Linky.
    Some programs will do that naturally, others will not. I approve of general toothless oversight, but I also realize that in a polarized nation you may hear an extreme argument on one channel and an opposing argument on another. Others still will have legitimate discussion. With so many methods of acquiring information I believe that a healthy natural balance will be better than the government policing the airwaves.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
