You are so right about this. A lot of times knowledge like that is provable. Why the fuck isn't this a thing?
The people who would implement such a policy would be directly negatively impacted by it.
Guess what? Just like 50% of all bad things about America, Reagan happened.
America used to have regulations on the media. Reagan abolished them in his attempt to make the entire world a dogshit corporate dystopian hellscape.
Oh right I forgot. I remember listening to an entire podcast about this, now that you mention it.
What was the podcast if you remember?
Pretty sure it was this one: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-divided-dial/
Even if it wasn't, I'm sure it's a good episode and it is on the same topic. That podcast is great in general.
Thank you
