I am not sure if any of you know about Kevin Martin, the chairman of the FCC, who wants to lift the ban on ownership of newspapers and news programs.

Absolutely awful idea. Bad for creativity, people besides Britney/Justin getting airplay, different points of view getting air time, etc. Add nixing net neutrality, and I might as well get cans and wire. :P

If you ever really want to know about what is going on in your country, read a newspaper from another country. That's what my uncle always told me. He was sure that our government controlled what we read here.

I quit reading newspapers a long time ago. It's the "internets" for me!
