Broadcasters Should Be Forced To Air Diversity Ads

So says Cass Sunstein, the so-called 'regulatory czar'.

"If it were necessary to bring about diversity and attention to public matters, a private right of access to the media might even be constitutionally compelled. The notion that access will be a product of the marketplace might well be constitutionally troublesome," wrote Sunstein in his 1993 book The Partial Constitution (1).

In other words, let people have access to the broadcasters so they can say what they want, not what the broadcaster wants.

In the book, Sunstein outwardly favors and promotes the "fairness doctrine," the abolished FCC policy that required holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance in a manner the government deemed was "equitable and balanced."

Who else thinks government should have the power to control what private entities say? Oh yeah, places like the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Iran... Seeing a pattern here?
