So equity is wrong. It should be self-evident that those monied classes have greater access to the media than those without money, right?

The S-Class proposal, like other media reform proposals, falsely assumes that current owners of media outlets are failing to meet the demands of their audience for a diverse range of content.

OK, so I suppose you would rather have the stations nationalized, and taken over by the government? Because that it exactly what will happen if you corporate power folks keep pushing around the have-nots. Is that what you want?
