GoutPatrol posted:Really interesting stuff. Is all of this possible from the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or did it start happening a bit earlier than that? Looking at QVC's wikipedia page I don't think there is anything on there about how they became commonplace, just about their competition with the Home Shopping Network and numerous mergers and buyouts from huge media companies. I dug into the laws, and I'll explain a little more here. The thing I'm talking about with must-carry rules dates back to the beginning of the cable industry in the 60's. Almost none of it is about the deregulation of media that happened in the 80's and 90's except for a small part which I'll mention. Must-carry rules were set up in 1965 to ensure local broadcasters serving the public interest weren't shut out of the market or forced to pay a toll to cable companies. Deregulation that happened later was about ownership rules, and those ownership rules were always about control of single markets. Large companies were never barred from setting up large national networks. That was always okay, and it's how the US got CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox basic. The rules were always about how many stations a single entity could own in a single market. A company could own thousands of stations nationwide as long as there wasn't an anti-competitive impact in any single market. The thing that made RWM possible in the 80's was the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. It wasn't as enforced as people would like to think it was now, but it was something that hung over the market as a whole. The big companies had to balance their offerings in some way ideologically and then also be able to make their public interest claims to the FCC. When that went away it allowed the right wing talk format to exist and then flourish. They'd run PSA's in any unsold ad slots and cooperate with emergency broadcast to fulfill the letter of the FCC license, but aside from that they could go wall to wall on specific political content without any worry about balancing rules. So it happened in 2 steps. First the format was allowed to exist and then the later deregulation allowed the conglomerates to push everything else out of the market. I think the current rule is that as long as you don't control 39% of the viewership in the market then everything is fine Predictably this means there are the same 3-4 companies controlling media in any single market. Newspapers were deregulated similarly at the same time leading to the current newspaper market.

Rev. Bleech_ posted:Another fun thing about EIB if I remember correctly: stations carrying it literally paid nothing to get it. The distribution deal was "carry our show for free; we get to keep half of the ad time, but you get to sell the local slots". So local AM stations like ours paid no money but still got to collect ad bucks using the clout of a show carried nationally that must be very popular since it is "broadcast to X,000,000,000 people nationwide". I may be screwing up the explanation, but SA being SA someone will correct it if I am. Yes, this was my recollection, but I didn't work in AM radio and couldn't speak about it directly in my post. But basically, with what EIB was doing with the numbers, their mere presence in any large market was more valuable to them for advertising fees than the licensing fees stations paid them. So them giving their show for free it markets where they couldn't demand licensing fees yet is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. That was, by the way, how they resolved every licensing dispute if a larger station tried to drop them. They would go to another smaller station in the market and offer it for free and then tell the larger station, "well, you could boot us or you could compete with us over here." I think the most famous instances of this were with WLS in Chicago and then the constant battle for them to stay on the air in NYC.

Step 1- shave all your pubic hair Step 2- irradiate penis and scrotum Step 3- take so so many steroids Step 4- routinely masturbate to the point of pain Step 5- women are the reason your junk hurts, but somehow loving them will help. Get out there, man, and hunt! Don't forget the generic Cialis!

Unless he lucks out and gets a bankruptcy judge that is a big fan of info wars (hey it can happen in Texas), he's losing all those assets. I look forward to Alex Jones to digging a deeper hole by disrespecting the bankruptcy judge just like he did with his defamation lawsuit.

I look forward to Alex Jones to digging a deeper hole by disrespecting the bankruptcy judge just like he did with his defamation lawsuit. I hope you’re right but Jones has apparently been playing games with hiding his money through debts to other companies incorporated in different states (different nations?) and under different peoples names and trusts and it just takes one marginally right leaning judge to slow everything down to a crawl and drag everything out for years. Info wars makes something like 165 million a year and that pays for lots of shady accountants and lawyers to hide things. I’ll believe that Jones gets held accountable for the horrible things he’s done once he’s actually held accountable. A judge today ordered Jones to pay a million bucks in legal fees and I guarantee that the first thing he does is say he’s broke, ain’t got it and it takes years just to get that out of him.

We’ve seen Alex Jones’s legal team, and a collection of high paid professionals they are not. whether or not that type of forensic accounting is legal or not also hinges on establishing motive, which requires Alex Jones not to have left any “I am moving this money around in order to protect it from the Satanic Sandy Hook Chi-coms.” emails lying around.

I was just reading about Emerald Robinson, the Newsmax host who was fired because of claims that there were satanic trackers in the vaccine. As if somehow thats where Newsmax draws the line. But Mike Lindell hired her for his channel, not sure where thats at. Newsmax replaced her with ex-Fox host James Rosen who was fired over sexual misconduct. Mike Lindells new final date marker is this Thursday. "Its going to SHOCK the country.

I wonder if Watters is going to have an incredibly planned-in-advance vacation because of this? Doubt it unless anything major comes from it. I just can't imagine just...admitting that poo poo out loud, on national television - what is probably the most watched television channel in America. Of course, I doubt the majority of viewers really care, and this did take like a week to drip to mainstream media, but even the rest of the Five expressed how hosed up that was.
