    FCC eases media ownership rules

    Now more of what we watch/read/listen to will be run by more of the same people, leaving little room for any small timers to come through. If you vote republican, shoot yourself!!!


    FCC eases media
    ownership rules

    Republican-led commission
    passes measure with 3-2 vote

    ASSOCIATED PRESS

    WASHINGTON, June 2 — Federal regulators relaxed decades-old rules restricting media ownership Monday, permitting companies to buy more television stations and own a newspaper and a broadcast outlet in the same city.

    Thumbs down

    I don't trust any of the mainstream news outlets anymore which are wholly owned by conglomerates (Full disclosure: I work for one of these conglomerates) with the base motive of profit. I trust the idiots in D.C. even less Republican and Democrat alike because contrary to what is suppose to be the case, they aren't there representing us, they represent the money.

    I get my news from the alternative press:

    Slate (Despite being owned by Microsoft, their editorial and journalistic integrity seems golden)
    Salon (You are greeted by an option of subscribing for a year, accessing the site using the day pass, or going directly to the home page where you can browse the articles but not read them completely unless you subscribe or get a day pass. It's at first annoying, but in the long run it's what needs to be done to keep it open and until I fork over the year subscription, I'm happy to watch a minute or less of an ad to access the whole site.)
    Alternet
    Village Voice
    BBC (Alternative to U.S. press)

    New York Times (I'm somewhat disappointed with the paper right now given their current problems, but I still read it as a supplement)

    Slate has a great daily column called "Today's Papers" which gives a summary and analysis of four major papers; namely, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today. It's an interesting perspective because you can see how major stories are spun among the different papers and how these stories change over time.

    I believe there is a second part, or another case on the same topic, I'm trying to locate it, it has something to do with Rupert Murdoch(owner of Fox & LA Dodgers), and the high density of communication control in the US compared to the world having monopoly like powers.

    I think you are referring to his desire to take over desire to take over of DirecTV.

    yeah thats it. But I also believe that it extends even farther then that. I man be wrong but I think Murdoch has a monopoly of media in Australia, but they don't have the anti-trust laws that we have and that is part of the problem. Like all globablization issues going across boundaries makes things difficult.
