States should not charge sales tax for online purchases.

Political candidates should not allow the media to interview their young children.

The decibel level of television commercials should be regulated.

Bloggers should be allowed to blog anonymously. Didn't we see this one before?

The FCC should not strengthen indecency rules regarding broadcast television.

The FCC should relax its media ownership rules.

Current advertising regulations are not adequate.

The Vanity Fair photos featuring Miley Cyrus were appropriate.

Dunkin' Donuts should not have pulled the ad featuring Rachel Ray.

Bloggers should not form a labor union. Hell no. Blogging is a personal freedom created by the Internet that allows anyone to create a blog. If a blogger wants medical benefits, they should buy some.

Tim Russert's death did merit the media coverage it received. But only so far....we don't need a whole week of it.

The news media should not cover celebrities' personal lives. They are people just like you and me, nothing more. Their jobs are just in our face. Of all the things I dislike about TV, this is the #1 thing, right here.

XM and Sirius satellite radio should be allowed to merge. I own stock!

Checkbook journalism is not an acceptable way to pursue news stories.

There should be a blogger code of conduct. I believe there already are by virtue of the success of a blog. A blogger probably won't garner any subscribers if their posts are so left field as to not appeal to anyone. They become background noise in a sense.

Bloggers should be held responsible for comments posted on their blogs by others. Sure! They operate the blog and have control over what appears and what doesn't (as it relates to posts and comments at least). So why wouldn't they be responsible. Now, this doesn't mean that someone can post a comment, and then immediately raise a fi

I know about RSS reader but choose not to use it.

Websites should allow anonymous comments. Web sites should be free to decide whatever it is they want to provide in their web site. Seems like a silly question to me.
