and too big to accommodate diversity corporations, especially media corporations do.

But when a self-described Democrat does what Clinton did when he signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the 1996 Telecomm Act, it is just downright disgusting.

The 1996 TELECOMM ACT under Clinton also deregulated and essentially privatized the Media, lifting rules that limited media ownership by monopolies, contributed to the stifling of open, fair and progressive news in the media.

Thanks for your post.
