Turner's great piece about "My Beef With Big Media" posted in DU "Editorials" today?

It lays it all out..the corporate influence and what's going on from his own "corporate" experience as founder of CNN...There's so much there in his analysis, from all the "media deregulation" and what it's done.

When I read that article I understood why the hundreds or thousands of e-mails from those of us here on DU and other liberal sites seemed to never make a difference. When one reads that article one can understand.

But, it made me want to do more. Picket the news outlets..get out in the streets if they wont listen to us. But Turner did point out that all the Fax/Phone/e-mails sent to Michael Copps at FCC from all of us here and elsewhere DID MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE...and that they are aware there's a huge problem and folks are fighting back.

My local NC Congressman is on this and had his own hearing about Media DeReg supporting Copps back this Spring and just told us at a poltical gathering this week that they were shocked at the amount of private citizens and local indy media who showed up in outrage against FCC Media Consolidation. He said we thought we might have 25 people and it was over 500 and they spilled out in the halls outside the auditorium they had aquired. He said it's a huge issue with not only Democrats in NC but Repugs! He said we must keep at it as citizens by calling our Congresspersons/Senate and the FCC. He said they are aware because of the "millions" who contacted the FCC from private as well as NRA folks and that we have a chance of reversing this if we keep it up.

Better for you to have moved on..with less stress. If we can fix this,there will be a place for you when we throw the Corporate Media Whore Bums out on their Bum..

Give you praise for not having a stroke or heart attack over this. I
