In 1996, Bill Clinton set the stage for what Donald Trump is doing now by creating a censorship machine of consolidated media, broadband, and tech firms. It's time to break it apart.

Side benefit: Terrestrial radio will start to suck less.

Back in the day normal folks owned radio stations. I went to public school with a guy whose family had been running a few stations for years.

Since it was locally run you’d actually get local bands played, and local sports broadcasts. And DJs who could play songs they liked instead of the same 50 songs in a loop.

They can't command the advertising revue they used to so now they have no choice but non-stop ads. Quit the radio many years ago. It's a shame. I wouldn't mind a few ads like back in the day.
