The general public must compete on equal footing with powerful interests.

Another example of the relationship between Big Media and Big Government:
"... coverage of a different sort is taking place in the ABC "Government Affairs" suite, as the network apparently uses its plum position and its press passes to lobby lawmakers on the convention floor." Watching the watchers

The general public must compete on equal footing with powerful interests. We now have a historic opportunity, a powerful solution to the problem of giving citizens equal political power with major corporations. We now have a historic opportunity to secure our rights to equal political participation. We now have a historic opportunity to effectively use our political power, armed with information as easily found as we find commercials. We now have a historic opportunity to broadcast news and information selected by ourselves with maximum distribution of power presented through mass communication. We must establish a Fair Media to take advantage of this opportunity. If we allow all of our airwaves to be sold off we will have lost our chance since it will be next to impossible to pry those airwaves out of corporate hands after they grab them.
