"Study links TV news regulation to uniformity of political views, tovarich"

  "There is no isvestia (news) in Pravda, and no pravda (truth) in Isvestia." (And what does it say that I can correctly spell those two Russian words? (Well, it says I'm a child of the Cold War.)) Seriously, between the set of regulations this paper is discussing, the "Fairness Doctrine" I've discussed elsewhere, the near uniformity of the big newspapers (aside from editorial page of The Wall Street Journal), and the same for the big national magazines (aside from US News and World Report and Reader's Digest), it's perhaps a surprise we didn't turn into a one party state.
