Dennis & Callahan criticized for "election postponed" joke

[Sid Schweiger]

>>Show me where oxygen, by law,  public ownership is conferred.

Radio station owners are not given "ownership", they are granted a "license"
for a specific period of time.

(Ask Bill Gates the difference between the two and how that works.)

The terminology was that they were a public "trustee".

(You do remember the words "in the public interest as a public trustee".)<<

I didn't ask for the "it's obvious" response, and I know what a license is.  Show me where, at law, public ownership of the radio spectrum is conferred.

The language of license renewal pre- or post-filing announcements is not the law.

Cite it.  I'm perfectly willing to be persuaded by evidence, but so far no one has it.
