you are absolutely correct what happened with radio..

but before that occurred, a fledgling movement to bring back the Fairness Doctrine was underway - but Clinton's de-regs pretty much killed it.

To put it more aptly, it was a stunning set back, pretty much leaving media activist sort of shell shocked in that Clinton would have done that.

I think that's about the time, a new level of awareness was sort of taking hold with regard to Clinton's Pro-Corporate-ness, apart from the NAFTA and GATT imbroglio.

On question of whether or not he was duped or he was pandering, i was trying to hold on to some semblance of open minded perspective and give him the benefit of the doubt. ;) It's well known that he had huge problems with the media, they weren't exactly shilling for him, (like they do for the Bush Crime Family)so at the time, I figured it must have been a big play for media's cooperation.

Which ever the case, the play didn't seem to work out for him, and it didn't work out for the true owners of the airwaves - the people - which he just so blithely gave away .

pretty fucked up all the way around, except for a handful of very wealthy fat cats who own everything anyway...
