Stop the media monopoly!!!!

[PrincessFiona]

Many of you have probably heard that the FCC is considering loosening upt its regulations to allow the big media conglomerates an even bigger piece of the pie. This means that our news will be filtered through a decreasing number of media outlets....ie...we will be hearing less and less critical and differing opinions as the few media giants take over.

Here is a great article about it if you are interested.

kris,

I heard an interesting conversation on NPR about this (O.K. I promise that I'll donate to NPR this year). Generally speaking, I advocate deregulation in most circumstances (ah...those conservative roots rearing their ugly head) but this one does present speech considerations of enormous magnitude. The news is so one sided and dumbed down that no one really knows what is going on as it is.

Very interesting.
