To Be Credible We Must Be Truthful.

If We Were To Do The Second Coming Of Christ In Color For A Full Hour, There Would Be A Considerable Number Of Stations Which Would Decline To Carry It On The Grounds That A Western Or A Quiz Show Would Be More Profitable.

But To Achieve Its Promise, It Must Be Both Free And Enterprising. There Is No Suggestion Here That Networks Or Individual Stations Should Operate As Philanthropies. But I Can Find Nothing In The Bill Of Rights Or In The Communications Act Which Says That They Must Increase Their Net Profits Each Year, Lest The Republic Collapse.
