Corporate Media Takeover

[Mark Heide]

If anyone has watched Bill Moyers program this week on PBS the issue is changing the rules so the large media corporations can own more media. One of the issues that corporate giants want the FCC to get rid of is the current rule that restricts a major corporation from owning more than one of the top four television stations in a regional area. This issue has not been publicized on any major media outlet so far because they do not want the public to know. I'm against what the corporations are trying to accomplish and have written the FCC concerning the issue. So, there should be no doubts as to where I stand. I'm just taking this opportunity to present the issues, since there are many. If you are against it, you need to contact the FCC by June. Here's a link to the NOW site:
