In any event, I'm not in favor of fairness. I'm in favor of freedom, and freedom is not fairness. Fairness means somebody has to decide what's fair.

無論如何，我不支持公平。我支持自由，而自由並非公平。公平意味著有人必須決定什麼是公平的。

In any event, I'm not in favor of fairness. I'm in favor of freedom, and freedom is not fairness. Fairness means somebody has to decide what's fair. And that means FCC people have to decide what's fair. I don't want to the FCC people to decide for me for what I should listen to or hear. And you wouldn't be able to, if the public at large didn't agree with your choices. You would be out of business. It's a funny thing. People think that it's the appearance of power versus the reality of power. It looks like as if you have a lot of power over what you put on your show. But you don't really. Because if you didn't appeal to the public, if these people didn't like you, you do a marvelous job, I'm not questioning that. But you do a marvelous job because you have found an audience for your product.

So in other words, my power comes from the people.

無論如何，我不支持公平。我支持自由，而自由並非公平。公平意味著有人必須決定什麼是公平的。這也就意味著FCC的人必須決定什麼是公平的。我不想讓FCC的人為我決定我應該聽或聽到什麼。如果廣大公眾不同意你的選擇，你（節目主持）就無法工作。你會失業的。這很奇怪。人們認為這是權力的外表與實質之間的對比。看起來好像你對自己節目內容有很大的控制力。但實際上並不如此。因為如果你沒有吸引觀眾，如果這些人不喜歡你，你的節目很精彩，我不會質疑這一點。但是你做的精彩是因為你找到了為你的產品服務的觀眾。

（主持人）換句話說，我的權力來自人民。
