FCC Chairman Tries For More Media Consolidation
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."
Let's remember that Jesus loves large media conglomerates. Jesus despises a multiplicity of media providers in any given market. Jesus loathes a functioning marketplace, preferring monopolies that will supply money, trips, golf club membership and hookers to Senators and Representatives in exchange for screwing the average American. Jesus despises the average American. Jesus is all about the money, and that shows in His favorite country, the United States of America.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.

Let the babies have their bottles. I dare any of the uber-corporations to erect a media outlet that does not suck donkey balls. If Ropert Morduck wants to own every station in my market, let him! I won't be listening to any of that garbage. I have iPods, CDs and superior satellite radio. What do I need with a Ropert Murduck? Sounds like a skin condition. Throw another media outlet on the barbie, douche!
This is the NSA, we're gonna geet U h@x0r5! Also, what is a h@x0r5?
Oh, now that Craigslist and others have eaten their classifieds, and online communities do better news, they're starting to pay attention.
They do this by wrapping the Sunday Comics in tear-away ads, and other slimey things that their sales guys must drool over.
They launched a city site, and have all sorts of 'business partners' to feed and link content. Seemingly astute, but state of the art 1998.
Their website currently as a registration policy that makes the old WSJ and NYT premiums seem laughable by comparison.
I think I like their old crabby-assed publisher better. At least he knew how to pay reporters and do investigative journalism. The reporters are all but gone, and there hasn't been an investigative piece since the takeover. Why ruffle advertiser feathers, after all?

Jesus also loves you, but everyone else thinks your an asshole.
