02/05/2003 Entry: "More from Molly Ivins on media concentration (I wish she was in charge)"

"The Federal Communications Commission, led by Michael "My Religion is the Market" Powell, is fixing to remove the last remaining barriers against concentration of media. This means that one company can own all the radio stations, television stations, newspapers and cable systems in any given area. Presently, 10 companies own more than 90 percent of the media outlets."
What this idea of the market is selling us, Molly Ivins, Feb 2, 2003

And like those 10 companies need to control 100% of what we see and hear in the media. And, in the interests of paranoia, how long before they find a way to control web content? Well, someone aside from Corante and Chilling Effects has to think theses things.

And here's where the whole mess started, the unspeakable Telcom Dereg Act of 1996, started in the 80s, which are already haunting us to madness. Okay, sorry, will cool the drama... for now.

Hello Readers! If you're still liking what you're reading here, you can help out with the webhosting bill with a donation, if you are so inclined. In addition to my eternal gratitude, you'll have the comfort of knowing I won't be spending it on frivolous things like food or the electric bill or something.

One of the best deals anywhere.

Donations to keep us going are very welome!

Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
