Should the FCC regulate the media, and if yes, how far should you go? Should it require toning
down sex and violence, airing the shows only later at night, or should it take down shows like
Sex and the City off air?
Solution
The FCC also acts as a police agency of the airwaves, and it can fine broadcasters for violating
public decency standards on the air.
Critics contend that media consolidation limits consumers’ choices because a small number of
companies own all the media outlets. They argue that consolidation is not competitive and that
corporate owners might restrict or manipulate news coverage. Some critics also lament the
homogenization of American culture due to media consolidation. Because radio and television
formats have become increasingly uniform, people throughout the country receive the same
broadcasts.
