I think of the 90’s as us trying to continue the optimism and work that was put in during the 60’s to create a more egalitarian society, while having some of the wild of the 70’s and trying to recover from Reaganism of the 80’s. And not having the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. While allowing the rise of unbridled corporatism.
While Clinton did a lot of work to balance the budget and had the debt paid off, he also passed the telecommunications act of 93 that allowed consolidation of media. Namely I heart radio.
Before him cable providers were required to allow public access, and only 1 owner of a single am/fm (pick one.) station with 1 television station in a market.
