Cablevision Asks Supreme Court To Review Constitutionality Of Must-Carry

My Monday Email is full of cable related news.

FIrst of all, let's not forget that is also not just about access to news and information it is about WHO is communicating that news and information. That is why PUBLIC ACCESS is important because you decide what news is and the programming on the p ubilc access reflects your interest not the interest of a Verizon or Cablevision or a Comcast or a Charter, etc.

This spit-taking quote is ludicrous. "What was once a cable monopoly, Cablevision conceded to the court, "has been replaced by vibrant competition." Rather than being an MVPD bottleneck, Cablevision suggested, the market has been reshaped into a wide-necked vase in which all flowers can bloom."

As a colleague of mine, Chuck Sherwood, suggested, be reminded Cablevision and the few corporations who own the networks and cable companies also own those flowers.
