Yes cable television doesn’t use broadband spectrum, but it still relies on other public resources.
And satellite broadcasts do use spectrum allotted by the government, and CNN is carried on satellite.
Additionally, why are we allowing CNN to incorporate if it does not benefit society? The government shouldn’t be letting companies incorporate that only serve entirely their own interests.
Edit: You’re right. There, I’ve edited it for you.
I’m not sure of the point they’re trying to make.
CNN is carried on spectrum allotted to satellite television. The public could have our governments allot that for any use. There’s no reason it should only benefit media companies. Unless those companies are benefiting the public.
Even CNN sent through wires often travels through public land.
Given both of these, I see no reason CNN would need to air commercials during the presidential debate. Thats the point I’m trying to make.
If they are disagreeing with my main point, I give up and concede defeat. I see no point in trying to convince them anymore.
If they’re nitpicking that I said spectrum before knowing it was CNN, then perhaps they’re the one being shitty. But I honestly don’t know what their point is. Maybe it is to argue that CNN is a private company and requires advertising to stay profitable.
It’s on CNN, cable is not the public spectrum.

Are cable lines entirely running through private land? Is CNN carried on a satellite television provider?
Public spectrum is over the air broadcast frequencies. Cable is, by definiton, not on that.

The government has defined “public spectrum” and that’s not their definition.
The public benefit aspect of incorporation also hasn’t been a thing in, what? Decades? Shit, now I need to google that…
Okay, I’m convinced.
They must run commercials.Edit: You’ve proven me wrong.They didn’t say that and you know they didn’t say it even imply it. You’re just being shitty.
