FCC Chillaxes On Some Restrictions

Good news media conglomerate owners: The FCC is going to relax some of its ownership limits. Kevin Martin, head of the FCC, wants to repeal the rule that forbids companies from owning newspapers and TV or radio stations in the same city. The proposal already has majority support and is slated to go through within the next two months.

Sadly, the FCC has no plans to relax its language standards, which would be good news to everybody else.

    I, for one, am glad the FCC is sticking up for Big Business. If they didn't do it, who would?
