We're Letting Them Abuse Us With Our Own Property

Is anyone besides me getting sick and tired of the television media getting filthy rich all the while broadcasting news and 20/20 type shows that push ideas, thoughts and philosophy that are the opposite of what myself and most Americans like, want or believe in? Especially the Americans on this forum? What about all the pampered, over-paid, arrogant talking heads, the wanna-be movie stars, who have become multi-millionaires by presenting the world to you as they want the world to look, or pushing concepts that totally contradict how most Americans think and feel?
Well, they are doing all that on your dime. Oh, I'm not trying to say that the broadcast networks haven't spent their own billions (but earned by selling you advertisements) on their equipment, stations, salarys, etc. I just trying to remind every America that each and every one of those Americans do own a very important part of those television networks (and to a smaller degree, even the cable networks). And that important part is the very airwaves (electromagnetic frequencies) that the television networks must have to survive and to deliver their product to you. And for every frequency that is "owned" or control by a television network, that is one less frequency available to the public for their use for their cell phones, garage door openers, alarm systems, etc., etc.. In other words, the television networks are using your property and often using it to beam propaganda to your children and to other citizens that many of us strongly disagree with. Similar to telemarketers using your telephone to call your family and make suggestions you don't want to be made.
In other words, they are producing a product, which often expresses views harmful to your future, and then using your frequencies to beam that product into your home. Kind of like a car thief stealing one of your cars and then using it to run you off the road. Or some such example, that probably isn't the best.
Oh, I know that those filthy rich networks pay us (our government actually) for the use of those airwaves, but they pay only pennies on the dollar of what they are worth.
So hows come we don't make our government make those rich networks treat gunowners (and others) fairly? Are there ways to bring this about? Just curious.
