Senate Adopts TV Station Limit (TechNews.com)

"The rollback from 45 percent has been seen by some as a rebuke to FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell, chief architect of the new rules. But he scoffed at the notion during a speech last week at the National Press Club, saying Congress has the right to set ownership limits in law, superseding the FCC's ability to set it in regulation.
'If 39 percent is where democracy survived and 45 is where it died, so be it,' Powell said."

Funny that the Washington "Bubba" Times decided to place this article in Technology News. It has nothing to do with Technology and everything to do with Democracy, or lack of, in the US.

It essentially ups the ownership allowance so that neo-nazi corporations like ClearChannel can continue their ravages without being bothered by the FCC.

BTW: If you think that I'm using the word neo-nazi lightly, you haven't been following ClearChannel. There is strictly no difference between this company's "Big Hate" manifestations against France (examples: destroying French articles at hate rallies) and the Nazi-organized book-burnings under Hitler. The concentration of local news under ClearChannel is no different from Goebbels control of "official" information (although ClearChannel is obviously much better equipped today than way Goebbels). Censure of the Dixie Chicks goes along these lines as well.

Using the word "Nazi" usually qualifies you as a "rant". But it should be clear that I'm using "Nazi" in the strictest, most qualified, sense of the word!
