BIASED PAY TV REPORTS?
The recently activated American Citizens Television Committee charged last week that national circulation magazines have consistently published pro-pay tv articles — and "appear unwilling to present the other side of the argument." The ACT committee also called on tv broadcasters to lend their facilities in presenting both sides.
The committee, formed only last month "to represent the public" in the pay tv donneybrook [Program Services, Dec. 2], claimed that because they have heard only one side of the story, the people have been exposed to "a form of brainwashing which has prevented their becoming aware of the fundamental issues involved, namely, that the radio-tv spectrum is a natural resource in grave danger of being given away for private use."
Among the magazines mentioned by Warren Adler, spokesman for the group, as having published only one side of the pay-tv controversy were Cosmopolitan. Pageant, Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Saturday Review and Harper's.
Akron, Ohio, said uhf stations "are no more deserving of special tax considerations than are the vhf stations, the fm stations or the am stations." Mr. Elliot said uhf tv eventually will outgrow its economic problems without the need of special tax relief.
