I agree about most of your Anti Ads sentiment and TV content, but your dismissal of News / Press as an Opponent to Government is Wrong. Press is the Only Business mentioned in the Bill of Rights. Press as opposed to Infotainment is necessary to maintain Freedom of Expression. You say the Free Public Access TV could only cover Government "community service announcements". This is only one part of the Government Propaganda. The Press covers: General, Community, Arts & Leisure, Business, and Opinion. They are different Sections of the news paper, another fading and failing Media. Free is Good on the internet, but as the Owners are fond of: "Nothing is Free". We only get Free Infotainment, NOT Free Expression, Liberty, or Pursuit of Happiness.
We only have Freedom to choose Which "Person, Place, Thing" to associate/rent/lease/purchase.
1. Impeach or Recall the 5 Roman Catholic Supreme Court Justices for attempting to establish Catholic State Religion. 2. Restore the Anti Corporation / Empire (East India Trading Company) attitude of the signers of the Constitution. 3. Change the Senate & House to ONLY create Legislation, any voting is only to establish the wording and pass back to the other house. We the People Vote (by phone) on ALL Legislation.
I said the last in 2 sentences. It is Clear that the Approval Rate of the GOV is LOWEST ever, in 3 short paragraphs I described the Solution. GO FOR IT.
Who paid $50 million? Was the guilty guy able to Pay, or did (s)he go to jail? I object to Pay TV in general, because of the Advertisements. When I Pay it is to avoid the Advertisements. Some say the Movie Theaters have Ads, but this is only for the Theater. More Specifically to the Satellite Provided Signals. Is it Legal to Pay (monthly) for over the air Broadcast Stations? I think the Government MUST have a Free way to reach the Rural Areas (mountainous areas, and distance in the Midwest). We have the Right to Choose how to spend Money, but Money has more Rights than us.
The black-box that receives, decodes and translates to TV Screen from the Satellite Open (original/new Broadcast Stations) is Readily Available and Legal. This is the only way to "reach" Rural Areas with limited access to the over the air TV Stations (Mountains, distance). The Government can reach Rural areas by Telephone (Cell or Wireline), but Gov has Regular Public Infotainment.
This is WHY PAY TV for over the air Broadcast Stations is (or SHOULD BE) Illegal, the SAME Argument applies to Cable PAY TV.
The legal system is broken and getting worse, Money has more and better Rights than We the People.

Re: Re: Percentage of what you make per year.
Are you Serious about your last statement?
1. Impeach or Recall the 5 Roman Catholic Supreme Court Justices for attempting to establish Catholic State Religion.
2. Restore the Anti Corporation / Empire (East India Trading Company) attitude of the signers of the Constitution.
3. Change the Senate & House to ONLY create Legislation, any voting is only to establish the wording and pass back to the other house. We the People Vote (by phone) on ALL Legislation.
