Which do you suppose leads to a more robust marketplace of ideas?

a) People hear what's cheapest to produce and sells the most ads.

b) People hear a variety of views.

[T]he debate is spurred by Dems trying to find a govt fix to get around the horrible lack of market share they have in radio.
If there's a credible source for this -- by which I do not mean Sen. Inhofe talking about what he heard someone saying in an elevator -- then I'd like to hear it, because any Dems thinking that are pathetic.

eta: Note that The Hill's reporter didn't find Dems saying this, though this could just be a function of the market forces which impel him to run stories handed to him by official sources (read: Republican Congressmen) instead of doing actual reporting.
