Last week the FCC was all, “you know, owning multiple forms of media in the same city isn’t such a big deal.”

But this week, they’re singing a different tune. Michael Copps, a democrat on the Federal Communications Commission, wants to open an inquiry into News Corp.’s takeover of the Wall Street Journal.

Currently the buyout is not under review, but it will result in one company controlling two of the country’s five largest papers along with two TV stations.

The FCC has no precedent in getting involved with takeovers of national papers, but as Fox’s Cody Willard can attest, Rupert Murdoch is kind of scary.
