This is fantastic, a must-watch. Concluding quote:
“The other day the head of a station group told the FCC that there’s no such thing as the public interest. ‘There’s your public interest, my public interest.’ And he said, ‘We broadcasters, as content creators, monitor what the public wants on a daily basis.’ What the public wants? Well, I want ice cream. I need a well balanced meal. Apparently, the people of Los Angeles want 22 seconds about their local government. Maybe if they got more of that, they’d want more of that.”
