Extreme Housewives Coupon Classics and Today's Favorites
The rest of us had to just sit here and wait for any news, but some people managed to attend the FCC public hearing on media consolidation today. Our silver lining is that it was held in Nashville, which enabled WKRN's A.C. Kleinheider to attend.
Taking one of A.C.'s examples local: what if, say, the Times Free Press bought NewsChannel9? Would any of us care, as long as we still got our shows and our celebrity gossip? Think about it: "Star Watch" would be on TV, too....
Der Kleinheider: prologue, chapter 1, chapter 2, and chapter 3.
I'll dangle this quote, but then be sure to visit and examine the perspective:
This is the most interesting aspect of this debate. Most people here are here in protest of consolidation and they are doing so from the left side of the political spectrum....How did this happen? When did conservatives stop caring about local control? When did conservatives start thinking that centralized power was [...] an unqualified good? Centralization is centralization, is it not?
