FCC Chair Wants to Relax Media Ownership Rules

The biggest mistake in broadcasting history is going to be repeated...on purpose...if FCC Chairman Ajit Pai gets his way. By my counting, this is the fifth time the FCC has tried to relax media ownership rules again since they initially made the collosal mistake in 1996. The last four times they tried it, the country erupted and flooded the FCC with (literally) millions of complaints, causing the FCC to lose its nerve.

This bunch doesn't appear to care about millions of complaints. They want their media giants to get gianter (new word), and they don't care if anyone has a problem with it. Mark my words--these three FCC commissioners will wind up working for the gianter conglomerates when their time is up, and they will be handsomely compensated for having done the opposite of their FCC duty. The FCC's prime directive is to work in the public's interest to protect the public airwaves.

Sounds almost quaint, doesn't it.

Wish I didn't have to run this video every few years...
