"Big Media is pushing the FCC to relax ownership rules again to give conglomerates more control over what Americans read, see, and hear. What most Americans don't know is that the FCC plans to fast track the rule changes and cut off public comment in December. Who wins and who loses? On Friday, November 2, at 9 p.m. on PBS, Bill Moyers Journal reports on the real-world consequences of media policy through the lens of how it affects minority media ownership in America. "We have got to ... believe that what we bring to our listening audiences everyday across this country is real," says Melody Spann-Cooper, who runs WVON, the only black-owned radio station in Chicago, a city with more than one million African-Americans. "Because we said it was real, not because Fox said it was real or Clear Channel said it was real." The program examines how critics say media ownership rules have shut minorities out of the media and looks specifically at the current moves in Washington to adopt rules that could further diminish any accountability that broadcasters serve the public interest and their communities. "I personally think that more media concentration and further deterioration of localism is the wrong way to go," says Senator Trent Lott (R-Mississippi). "If the chairman indicated that he intends to do media ownership by the end of this year, there is going to be a firestorm of protest, and I am going to be carrying the wood," says Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota)."

6. CJR's guide to what the major media companies own.

7. Exactly right. It has become a corporate propaganda machine for the most part

and will only get worse as it is owned by fewer and fewer interests.

Never let it be said that we outsourced the public domain. Promise me

[slipslidingaway]

9. We need to keep an eye on this issue in the coming weeks

so we are aware of any changes they might try and pass.

Promise to K&R any threads on the upcoming changes, the media will hardly mention this story.

8. Man! He is the only candidate talking about the issues ion a fundamental

level.

[slipslidingaway]

10. Yes and we have to stay on top of this issue, only problem is that

the few threads that have mentioned any upcoming changes receive hardly any attention. We are kept so busy fighting with each other or against the other party while they rob us of everything :(

Here's an idea, we need threads when important issues are coming up to have color coded designations. We can use the homeland security colors and levels. :)

I would say the media consolidation threads should be given a code orange or high rating for now.

"On March 12, 2002, the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS), a color-coded terrorism risk advisory scale, was created as a Presidential Directive to provide a "comprehensive and effective means to disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to Federal, State, and local authorities and to the American people."
