On the recordMay 15, 2003
What we have now, and I think people should be aware of this, is it a bad situation when the media does not provide adequate coverage for different points of view, and that is what we are seeing. What the gentlewoman is saying is that when individuals want to buy time at the going rates, they are not even allowed to do that. That is an outrage, that is unacceptable, and we are seeing more and more of that. If I like your point of view, you can buy an ad on my radio station; if I do not, sorry, we do not want your money.
