We should go to the British system where broadcast time for political candidates is not bought or sold, where it's provided as a public service. We've got a real irony here, Terry. It's a terrible system. Political advertising expenditures are skyrocketing. They're in the business of selling time.
Broadcasters are different from newspapers.
They're different from just about any medium. They have been given a resource owned by the public. That resource, of course, is the airwaves. Ever since the advent of radio, the airwaves have been considered public property. Broadcasters insist they do an excellent job of serving their communities.
