Federal Communications Commission Democrats laid into the commission majority Friday at the FCC’s final media-ownership hearing, in Seattle. “Did you ever notice that the FCC is always ready to run the fast break for big media, but it’s the four-corner stall when it comes to serving the public interest?” commissioner Michael Copps said. “Well, it’s fast-break time again.” He pointed out that he had been in Seattle twice before for media-ownership hearings, including in March 2003, just before “then-chairman of the FCC Michael Powell [son of Colin Powell] shoved his near-catastrophic rules through the commission.” http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/11/10/5146/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.isoc-ny.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
