Are some of us more equal than others

I was listening to IMUS this morning and he made the statement,
"depending on your satellite situation you can watch Russert on
the east coast feed and catch it again on the west coast feed."

Please tell us there is no one who gets distant network stations.
Swarmy Congress, they'd sell their grandmother for a campaign
contribution. They so love their local TV stations they gave them the
digital spectrum for free, don't charge them for their license, and
prevent technology from re-distributing their content. If Congress
had the same influence on the internet, it would still be limited to
the local phone company's service area.
