Cronkite urges Congress to end federal control of broadcasting
Walter Cronkite told a Senate subcommittee that government licensing and control of broadcasting should end. He warned that press freedom is constrained by industry dependence on the state and warned against government intimidation by politicians and bureaucrats. A law professor urged courts to force paid advocacy for underrepresented views, while Sen. Ervin cautioned against compelling broadcasts. Cronkite argued that with cable, FM and VHF expanding outlets, licensing is obsolete and competition will improve fairness.
