Call for government bureaucrats to control what we watch on TV ■Big Government by Kelly -
Having a free market was fun, wasn’t it? Unfortunately, more and more – the fun’s over.
The FCC Now Wants to Create a TV Content Commission
Take what we watch on television. It has been for two decades now an ever-expanding free market Xanadu. We’ve been joking for years about the amazing number of channels we have from which to choose. For instance, Comcast’s most basic current package has over 90 – and you can get more than 180 should you wish.
And that’s just cable – then there are the alternative content providers. And companies like Netflix and Amazon’s Prime aren’t just offering content – they’re creating it. Netflix has given us House of Cards – Amazon The Man in the High Castle. And dozens of other shows. Multiple additional companies offer us additional huge digital storehouses of stuff to watch.
It’s like trying to take a sip of water from a firehose. (And makes you wonder why we still have government media like PBS and NPR.)
