[IP] Former FCC chairman: Deregulation is a right-wing power grab
Topic: Society 5:20 pm EDT, Jun  2, 2003

] Ever since the invention of the printing press,
] governments have tried to make an ally out of owners of
] the means of information distribution.
That's as old a
] story as when the powers that be tried to suppress
] Gutenberg's Bible. Not because they didn't believe in
] the Bible, but because they didn't believe everyone
] should be able to get one. This is a 600-year-old
] story. It's not a new story. But it's news to the United
] States that one side should get this close to that goal.

Strong words from Reed Hundt about the new FCC media ownership rule changes. Ted Turner has also come out strongly opposed to this in recent days. Basically the deal is that soon all the TV will be owned by Fox in the same way that all the radio stations are owned by Clear Channel.
