Can you have too many choices to get news coverage and opinions to consider? In this segment, the Free Enterprise Project’s Scott Shepard discusses efforts by some members of Congress to pressure media companies into dropping specific news and opinion programming based on which viewpoints are shared. The Members of Congress specifically called for conservative channels, including FOX News, One American News Network, and Newsmax TV to be discontinued by private cable and streaming carriers. Shepard argues that pressure is an affront to the idea of the free exchange of ideas and shows a troubling trend in both our political and media industries.
