Nice rant.

It would even be relevant if I were one of those who thought that NCTV’s programming should only reflect consensus science, but that’s not what I said and not what I expect.

In fact, the proper response to crackpot science is non-crackpot science, and that’s what happened in this case, thanks to Anna.

My surprise was the same surprise I always feel when confronted with the full range of our community’s values.

As Nadine Strossen, former head of the ACLU, was fond of saying: “The answer to speech you don’t like is more speech, not censorship.”

Sorry if our essential agreement takes some of the fun out of your rant.

The Government channel “17″ on Comcast in Nevada County only draws a very small amount of the population as most people don’t want to watch BOS meetings or City Council meetings except when something comes up that concerns them individually.

So the amount of people that would see a short on that channel would even be even less.

Last time I looked this is the land of the free and whats important is freedom of speech. Public Access Television is not monitored except for x rated content and does take into consideration of copyright content.

If you want one sided views then you should watch NBC news as they only show a certain narrow view of the world. My advise is to watch many different contents so that you are informed with a more balanced look of the world and not blinded by someone else with a hidden agenda.

This works on both ends of the spectrum when it comes to politics and religion.

I have a 30 minute news show that airs on NCTV 3 times a day 6 days a week and try to keep it fairly balanced in content and try to keep my personel opinion out of the mix unless I do a “Teapot Alert” that is commentary and not news.

What makes NCTV great is that if you don’t like a content on their then you have the option of doing your own show that reflects what you want to have out there.

NCTV staff is 1 full time and 3 part time people who spend alot of their own time just keeping the flow going and are not the TV police.

Leave that up to the FCC on mainstream channels.

Keep an eye out…

Thanks so much for doing this!

A: We could have read the submission form more carefully.
(that’s the royal we, btw)

But don’t reproach yourself and I won’t reproach myself.

How could we have known?

so, keep an eye out…
(wish I’d had the sense to realize earlier that I could just submit shorts, not just an (almost) entire half-hour or hour show.)
