4. The airwaves belong to the people, not the corporations
Right-wing talk shows practically have a monopoly of the public airwaves. Whether it's on the national or local level, there are hundreds of right-wingers out there spewing their hatred on a daily basis.

The problem is that it allows one side to shape opinions for a large number of people in the country, with no chance for balance. It's basically allowing the Republican Party to have an unchecked propaganda outlet.
