I haven't been hearing nearly as much about the upcoming FCC meeting about concentration of media ownership on LJ as I would have expected to, given the impact greater concentration of media ownership is likely to have on political and social discourse in the US.
There's a similar problem in Canada - we call it CanWest Global, which is currently trying to get the CRTC to let it buy Alliance Atlantis with US money from Sachs Goldman.
Um, can you say "No"?
It's probably too late to complain to the CRTC - although I encourage everyone to e-mail their MP and tell them that the CRTC should tell Izzy and the Aspers to go fuck themselves.
"Free speech" isn't very free when it's bought and paid for by the Aspers, Murdochs and Blacks of this world.
