Again I quote the legislative agenda from the current whitehouse.gov:
Quote:

Encourage Diversity in Media Ownership: Encourage diversity in the ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation's spectrum.

Diversity in media, thus in the artists making contents on the different kinds of media, that is definitely part of the agenda for the US Government and always kind of has been part of the agenda.
But now if you introduce a solution to pay artists according to how popular their stuff is, then obviously you want the correct type of diversity happening and you want fair an reasonable algorithms to be put in place to get the artists the audience that they deserve.
