"The action page above will send your personal message not only to all
five of the FCC commissioners, but to all your members of Congress as
well, who are already working at their end to stop this rash proposed
giveaway by passing the Media Ownership Act of 2007. There is strong
bipartisan support for this bill, but they need your support to make
this legislation actually happen."

"Bill Moyers tells us:

There's a new twist this week. Despite overwhelming public opposition from across the country and the political spectrum, the Chairman of the FCC, Kevin Martin, isn't letting up in his relentless push to allow a handful of media giants swallow up more of your local media.

He made it official on Tuesday: He intends to lift the longstanding ban that keeps one company from owning both the daily newspaper and a radio or television station in the same market."
