This is great news! The U.S. Senate has slapped down the FCC’s December 2007 invitation [1] to allow big media corporations to further consolidate their media holdings.
Sen. Barack Obama [2] (D-Ill.), a co-sponsor of the bill [3] disapproving of the FCC invitation to further consolidate big media, had urged the House to follow the Senate’s lead and pass a resolution of disapproval, an unusual legislative maneuver that would invalidate the FCC’s decision to allow TV and radio stations and newspapers to be co-owned in the top 20 markets, subject to some conditions.
