As long as it's owned by large corporations that have ties to the White House (Clear Channel Entertainment) it's free to our new FCC chairman. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse than Michael Powell, it turns out that Kevin Martin
was the strongest proponent of lifting the "cross-ownership" ban, which was part of the proposed media ownership rules passed by the FCC in 2003 and later thrown out by a federal court
This guy is going to serve your individual interests... right...
For more on the evil beast that Clear Channel Entertainment is, look at the directory of articles by Salon. This isn't an isolated incident. If you've been wondering why the quality of radio has been so awful lately, and so right wing, look no further.
