[Commentary] Should the government keep its hands off newspapers? Absolutely. Television is a horse of a different color, attributable to a one-word distinction: bandwidth. TV operators have been handed by the government an incalculably valuable piece of property in that finite bandwidth, and many of us are deeply disappointed with what they've done with it. If you want to drill for oil on government land, it shouldn't be surprising to learn that there are rules and regulations the government wants followed. Same here.
