A Bush administration official at the federal agency that overseas television, radio and other media is pushing for sweeping changes in the rules for ownership of TV and radio stations. These changes would allow big corporations to dominate the news sources in a given city or town, giving a few massive corporations monopoly control over the content and slant of news.

A Bush administration official at the federal agency
that overseas television, radio and other media is
pushing for sweeping changes in the rules for ownership
of TV and radio stations. These changes would allow
big corporations to dominate the news sources in a
given city or town, giving a few massive corporations
monopoly control over the content and slant of news.
If these changes go through, you'll have to ask: Will
you be able to trust the news?

Please take one minute right now to click on the link
below to send a fax on this issue to U.S. Sen. John
McCain (R-Ariz.). Sen. McCain is chair of the committee
responsible for overseeing TV and radio. Ask him to
act to delay any changes in these rules and force public
comment and discussion BEFORE changes are adopted.
One corporate giant could control your local newspaper
and television and radio station.

Communications Commission (FCC), is rushing through
