How later courts describe this case

  • viewed in context of sordid business of drug trafficking, threat made by government informant did not rise to level of due process violation
  • Communications Act does not require FCC to review fairness doctrine compliance at renewal time; decision to review on ad hoc basis is reasonable exercise of discretion
