Great Opportunity to Hammer deregulation
The whole Sinclair affair is a great opportunity for Kerry and Edwards to hammer the evils of Broadcast deregulation. The abouse is so obvious and regulation in the past kept it from happening. The "free market" has NOTHING to do with democracy. It's all about money and power.

Those who have the money have the power and can abuse it any way they want.

The airwaves belong to the public and are the lifeline of information. If all the information is controlled by those who have the power, then the system and the airwaves are corrupted.

This is another FAILED BUSH POLICY.

1. while we're at it
we should demand re-regulation of power utilities so they can't pull more Enrons on us.

2. Hey, E, any insight on Feingold's perspective?
Surely Russ must have something to say about Sinclair, since at least 2 of their stations are here in WI.
