The last decade has been littered with attempts by governing parties to regulate, deregulate and/or re-regulate the media. The stated paraphrased federal agency goals were to:
Establish broadcast ownership limits promoting "diversity, localism and competition" that the courts would uphold. Write rules that recognize "the explosion of new media outlets
for news information and entertainment." Strike a balance that would allow media deal-making "while ensuring that no company can monopolize the medium." The
unresolved biggies include (in non-hierarchical order):
Multiple ownership of TV stations in the same market National television station ownership
(single market and multiple) Dual broadcast network ownership Broadcast/ newspaper/ radio cross ownership V-chip utilization/
parental controls advertisement

Will someone please tell me "why the f..." the FCC is concentrating a majority of its intellect on
indecency? I am allowed to write "why the f..." Maybe I'm amazed. How 'bout you.
