I respectfully disagree with Rafe and Jeff Jarvis. I do think there is something the government should do about Sinclair’s illegal campaign contribution to Bush, but not directly. I am too much of a free speech absolutest to want the government to censor anyone. What I want is the FCC to do is to do its job and stop enabling fewer and fewer corporations to control more and more of the public airwaves (Bill Moyers terrific series on the subject).
Bill in a dangerousmeta thread shared a terrific post by Jay Rosen on all this.
