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."

    It'd be terrible if there was a place you went for news and everyone thought alike. And for those who didn't, they'd be branded and an invisible counter would go up or down depending on how many times you disagreed.
