STOP THE FCC FROM MAKING MEDIA WORSE
The Following from Alternet.org:
Details of an FCC proposal released today show the Republican appointees on the commission plan to further oosen ownership regulations, paving the way for more intense consolidation of U.S. media. This new round of concentration represents a huge windfall to most large media corporations owning TV stations and newspapers, and increases the threat to citizens' access to diverse sources of information and a wide range of views essential to the health of our democracy. The FCC will be voting on June 2 n the face of an unprecedented critical public response. Add your voice!

Control of the airways is rapidly slipping into the hands 'the few, the neo-con' with the result that ads critical of the Bush Regime are being rejected out of hand. We are being denied freedom of the press by the people who own the ‘press.’ An AP wire story from Phoenix makes this clear. The AP wire story reads, in part:
The local branch of cable provider Cox Communications has refused to air a television commercial critical of President Bush's tax cut plan that re-enacts a blood plasma drive held to help pay a teacher's salary.The spot was turned down because Cox officials in Phoenix found the commercial "in poor taste," said Andrea Katsenes, company spokeswoman.
Yo, Gang...seems I had a couple of broken links. One was to the AP story, the other was to the commercial itself.
I'll work on it....Sorry
Back again. You can download and view the MoveOn.org-sponsored political spot by going to the MoveOn Website. I report, you decide for yourself if the ad is "in poor taste"
