Not to go all cynical, but what does an FCC that exists to obey corporate special interests need to know other than how to obey?
Now, of course, the FCC’s ignorance would matter if America was a democracy. Fact is, America isn’t a democracy, only plays the role of one. A nation that engages in voter disenfranchisement, gerrymandering and refusal to hold elections (not to mention the existence of the Electoral College), with public officials who serve only an elite is, well, if one considers that a democracy… (The good news: We have enough freedom to changes things if enough of us knew enough and cared enough.)
