Getting the FCC debate all wrong

In “Taxpayers should cut the FCC’s allowance” (April 13, 2015), it is almost amusing to see Andrew Langer accuse someone of authoring a response “fraught with basic factual errors” (as Mr. Langer accuses the FCC Chairman of doing) because when it comes to generating “basic factual errors,” Mr. Langer is a serial offender.

Issues of FCC policy — including whether over-the-air broadcast TV services should be freely accessible through TV sets sold in the U.S. — may be subjects of fair debate (on which we take no position), but for Mr. Langer to disseminate incorrect information in support of his opinion is deceitful and irresponsible.
