I'd love to see how the politics of the FCC really work. Is it primarily administration driven or not? I'd have to do some research but I don't think all of the commissioners were appointed by Bush (i could totally be wrong though). In that acse I am wondering why all of a sudden the FCC has gone overboard in its justice. And why now does ANYONE feel that regulating channels that are PAID for is even reasonable. Isn't the basis for the regulation of the airwaves based on the idea that the airwaves are owned by the government so they can therefore deem what is on them? If so. they don't own the cable infastructuer do they? How could it even be legal for them to regulate it?
