House Overturns FCC Media Consolidation Plan

son_of_a_general writes "Looks like the House of Representatives just overturned the FCC's media consolidation rules, previously covered on Slashdot here(1), here(2), and here(3). The article over at CNet shows that the House passed a bill that overturned the rules, by a 400 to 21 vote. All is not clear yet, however, as the bill still must pass through Senate and face being signed by a President who has already indicated that he may veto."

Of course, the mor0n will veto! That asshole has only one allegiance, to the almighty buck and he has big cr0porations to answer to.

Will one of the marines in the presidential guard be a true patriot and shoot the fucking bastard?

Our current president wouldn't justify anything. He just doesn't care. How else can you explain a president elected by a slim margin under controversial circumstances who received less than 50% of the popular vote doing more to advance the cheap labor conservative agenda than 12 years of reagan/bush sr?

I guess this explains why neo facists like Ann Coulter get so much airtime.
