What everyone remembers in times of disaster is that broadcasters, who are virtually printing money by exploiting the “public airwaves,” are returning nothing to the communities they ostensibly serve.
Reagan’s elimination of the Fairness Doctrine and FCC regulations mandating “public service” programming is partly to blame.
But ultimate fault can be laid to the public’s continued acquiesence to Federal broadcasting law that has shifted local ownership of stations to multinational media giants with no profit incentive to take an interest in the welfare of their viewers.
