Your tax dollars at work

Two FCC officials with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed that the agency had requested documents from Clear Channel Communications Inc., CBS Radio Inc., Entercom Communications Corp. and Citadel Broadcasting Corp. over allegations that radio programmers had received cash, checks, clothing and other gifts in exchange for playing certain songs without revealing the deals to listeners, a violation of federal rules.

The FCC requires that radio listeners be informed anytime there is an exchange of items of value for airplay of specific songs.

Я уверен, что эти в высшей степени необходимые требования тесно связаны с трагедией общин, парадоксом узника и существованием неизмеримых множеств.
