Jimm has a great post over at his blog ForFreedomCentury as to what is really at stake in the FCC vote that is literally days away.
I just can't help but have a small grin on my face, though. This whole media concentration crap is something that Noam Chomsky has been pointing out for literally decades. Granted that Chomsky has a lot of problems and issues. So do I. So does every human on the planet that ever lived and ever will live. Well, I guess the only exception is the Right, who are always correct and have absolutely no issues what so ever.
But say what you want about Chomsky. He was dead right about the media and the manufacture of consent.
Too bad everyone spent so much time deriding him and whining themselves about his style and his other faults instead of actually taking what they could from Chomsky and trying to head this off when it was much, much easier.
Oh well, you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. Pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
Go read Jimm. He's a heck of a lot better at this than I am...
