Congress May Overturn FCC's Media Consolidation Plan

Spril writes "A congressional committee voted yesterday to prevent the FCC from allowing even more consolidation of the media industry. The original ruling was covered on Slashdot. The committee attached the pro-consumer proposal to a bill funding the Justice and State departments for 2004. But the Bush administration has threatened to veto the funding because they support ever-larger corporations owning ever-bigger chunks of the spectrum that theoretically belongs to the public. Clear Channel may need to cough up some more money for their lobbyists."

Think about that for a second.)


    That, after you called us uninformed. To help you understand, I've translated your statement from Europe-to-US into US-to-Europe. It's about as insightful and worthwhile a sentiment:

    "(Note to Europeans: As an American, I see you as a bunch of insufferably whiny socialists whose only goal beyond waiting in the welfare line is mindlessly criticizing the United States.

    I'm too lazy to create an account so I hope you don't think I'm a coward, but the incredible ignorance being portrayed in this discussion has to be addressed. You just want 1 lie they told, do ya? How about ten? Try reading this article (http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=16274) and then tell me if you still think they're not lying. The Niger "thing" is a fucking scandal plain and simple. Look for sources of news other than mainstream puppets with rumsfelds cock in their ass. When Cheney resigns you'll eat your words. If Bush wins the 2004 election I'm assasinating him for the good of the world.

    You are too stupid to understand any facts. Your mind is unable to grasp complexity. Anything more complex then a bumper sticker slogan goes right above your head.

    I know I should not expect much from a marine but for gods sake talking to you is like talking to dead fly. I swear to god my dog is smarter then you are.

    Go read a book or something. Maybe you should read Quigleys book. That way you can at least critize it after you read it.

    Wow I didn't know Cecil Rhodes was a republican. That's very interesting.

    But really I see what you are saying now. Cecil was an evil man for sure.

    Of course that also makes anybody who wins a rhodes scholarship evil.

    Since Cecil was also an englishmen this means that all englishmen are evil too.

    Ooops Cecil was also a white person so all white people are evil too.

    Damn Cecil was also a male so all males are evil too.

    Whew, that cecil was so evil he contaminated the entire world and made you evil.

    Damn that man.
