Freedom of Speech in Romania's Radio and TV: an Illusion

There is a seeming difference between printed press and radio-TV with regard to their submission to power. One outstanding reason is that while for the printed word there is not a specific modality of infringing upon property rights, in the realm of radio and TV we have one particular way to annul liberty – the license. Through it the authority, the state, the politicians (or whatever one chooses to call the organized group that uses legislation as a veil for aggression) decides who gets to be “on air” and who doesn’t. One could call this state of affairs however one wants, but one cannot talk about freedom of speech and avoid being utterly ridiculous.
