The two companies that brought us illegal wiretaping....go figure.
I swear our gov. thinks we're stupid. We must fight to keep internet access without interruption.
Why doesn't all the RP supporters pool their money and buy the last 20 percent? I hear "ClearChannel" deal is falling apart..

Write Editorials In Local Papers To Raise Awareness
Remind them they are loosing choice....especially contaminated food products if our only choice is a Wal Mart.
We must wake the people up. Keep talking about it until they do wake up. I know it's work but you should see the look in their eyes when they "get it" and finally thank you.
One must stay current with the issues. The only people in my circle who know who Bernake is are those I've told. Amazing, "they" use to be "me".
Better idea
Get involved with governing your communities, local & state.
We won't take our government and country back by writing editorials. They are necessary to educate, yes. But unless you take that education and USE it, its useless.
I never understand how this happens
Don't we have monopoly laws that prevent this type of thing. How many times can companies consolidate into bigger companies. When will Walmart buy Target? Pretty soon there will be only one or two places to buy things, and only one or two media companies.....I mean what is going on here?
ways to keep informed
I subsribe to these two sites to keep advised on the latest scemes, sign petitions, donate, or contact my congressmen about current issues.

This way I can receive warnings via email before some "sneaky Christmas Holiday" grab or some "132nd item on a internet reform bill" grab.
COMMRADE, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
PAY NO ATTENTION TO RABBLE ROUSERS AND OTHER DIVERSIVES. ALL IS WELL WITH MOTHERLAND. WHAT IS GOOD FOR GIANT COMPANY IS GOOD FOR COUNTRY...
Seriously? What's going on is that that these companies use our money to lobby for less restrictions on their business. And then, they use that to control more of the market, eliminate choice for the consumer, so they make more money, and repeat the cycle. Of course, the regulations that are in place (lobbied for by...you guessed it!) make it next to impossible for competition to even go into business. See? Everything is working just the way they want it to!
We don't need laws to prevent monopolies
Only good monopolies will exist in a free market. But this is a case where the government is basically spoon feeding these companies a larger share of the market.

only problem is...
...that we don't have a truly free market--especially in the quote-mainstream media--we have a government run/regulated media/propaganda machine.

your right
I don't support more laws, I was just shocked over what was happening.
