News media about to get foxed again

Rupert Murdoch is on the cusp of getting approval for another expansion of Fox News empire.  The target, Chicago Tribune and the L.A. Times, to be remade as right wing parrots.  Twice before he tried this and the FCC turned it down after massive public outcry.  Déjà vu.

The international social action network Avaaz has fought Murdock in England to a standstill on a number of issues, and is taking up this fight in the US.  The thinking public of the world knows that a monopoly in the media is a threat to democracy.  Go to this link and send the FCC a message, all it asks is email, initials or name, zip, thats it.  Avaaz is 17+ million people ragging on corporations, governments, crooks, it will take you 2 minutes to land a punch at the Fox empire.  So ..... scoot your cursor over the link that follows ........ and CLICK.

  1. It's all true. The idea the FCC where the dims have the majority back even discusses this baffles me.

    I know the reason and it's ugly.
