Mark Levin's new book raises important questions about the
structure of the current news media. The television stations were
granted monopolies in the 1930s, and political support for the Democratic Party
was an illegal precondition. As well, the cable firms have been granted
local monopolies, which are illegal because the firms are partisan in the
information that they carry. The time has come to investigate the illegal use
of public subsidy for partisan purposes and to use the anti-trust laws to
balance the electronic news system. Recent hearings in the Senate
suggest that similar steps may need to be taken by tech firms like Google that
use publicly subsidized infrastructure and air waves.
