Do you support the dismantling of a free press?

If you need a license to operate you're not free.

The license is for the use of the broadcast spectrum (a scarce, shared resource), not practicing journalism.

Of course not. He was president for four years and yet the press remains what it is. Why do you think he would destroy the free press?

Because he said he would. Hopefully that was a lie too, but I guess we get to find out.

Nobody cares about the free press, their content is, for the most part, garbage. I think this election has signalled the death of the mainstream media, and the rise of independent media. I find this absolutely wonderful.
