FCC Chairman Tries For More Media Consolidation

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the playing-monopoly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FCC chairman Kevin Martin wants to relax rules on how many media outlets one company can own in one market. Democratic commissioner Copps wants to rally the public to stop media consolidation. He says he's 'blowing a loud trumpet' for a 'call to battle' to stop the FCC from giving big media a generous Christmas present."

    As if Clear Channel and Rupert Murdoch needed even more media outlets to turn into mindless, commercial-ridden crap...

    There is a happy medium between anti-trust and monopoly, and this is not a move toward equilibrium. At least someone internal is vocally disagreeing. Go Copp!
