it’s the monopoly, stupid!
so, the FCC has just delivered a wigged-out bitchslap to the diversification of media and anti-trust laws. since most towns in america only have one newspaper these days anyway, it’ll be refreshing to cut out all that, you know, media competition and just buy out the radio stations and the television stations as well! because, i mean, the FCC wasn’t created to regulate and protect the public airwaves or anything. at least, not according to chairperson michael powell*. no, no. they like to help major media conglomerates like Newscorp and AOL/Time Warner become the media monopolies we all think they’re capable of being. see, you had it wrong – the FCC clearly now stands for “Fornicating with Cable Companies”.
what was that loonybin hillary clinton talking about when she said ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’? oh, and honey? turn on the news. i think we may have a sequel to the spanish-american war this summer! as a reality show!
* coincidentally, michael powell is, in fact, son to our Secretary of State colin powell. apparently, there’s another word george bush has trouble understanding … nepotism.
