Think Again: The Return of the Fox-like FCC - Center for American Progress
Commentary by Eric Alterman on the FCC's (in)decision not to involve itself in the Sinclair "Stolen Honor" controversy.
An excerpt:
A millisecond of a bared breast during a Super Bowl halftime show brings the wrath of the FCC down with all the force its fines can muster, while an issue that cuts to the heart of the FCC's mandate – ensuring the fair play of ideas in a democratic society – is effortlessly ignored. Now that conservatives have solidified their power over the federal government until at least the 2006 midterms, Big Media conglomerates will likely continue to push for even more power through consolidation than they have over the past four years of Powell's reign.
