Right, just like the airwaves are privatized beause they have to ask the networks about news sources.
Makes good sense, Luigi.
You're just full of bad logic today, aren't you?
First off. Broadcast and wire communications are totally different media with totally different rules.
Second. Obtaining records of use by customers and obtaining info on sources in a news story are also totally different things.
Third. Journalism, and sources thereof, do not constitute even a tiny fraction of the entirety of the "airwaves", privatized or not.
Fourth. Licensing and regulation by the government does not remove privatizaation. If that was the case, then *nothing* would be privatized.
Fifth. Apples and oranges are different. You *really* need to learn this.
