This Sue Wilson 2017 story, published by the BradBlog, shows how one person from a tiny community - with the help of friends - can defeat a giant broadcasting corporation and hugely affect FCC policy. Keep this in mind as Media Action Center - with a growing cadre of supporters - now embarks on protecting Our Public Airwaves for the sake of Democracy itself.
"Dan Morain, editorial page editor at Sacramento Bee, wrote an article about what I’ve been working on, and writing about here at The BRAD BLOG and elsewhere, for many years now.
Morain’s article starts this way:
Sue from Fiddletown won, on our behalf. You can hear the sound of that victory at the end of the FM radio dial in Sacramento. Where there once was commercial pop music, hooting deejays and stupid radio stunts, there’s static.
'We the People own the air waves,' she said, and repeats: 'We the People.'
It’s a very nice article, that begins with a tragic story. That story, however, now has at least a somewhat encouraging ending for, yes, We the People.
