Buzzflash interviews FCC Champion Adelstein
Buzzflash has posted a nice interview with Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, along with Michael Copps, one of two FCC champions of preserving what the Supreme Court has called a "diverse and antagonistic media" that is a condition of a "free press."
In commenting on the recent denial of the broadcaster petition to overturn the 3rd Circuit's rejection of Michael Powell's small-visioned, big-corporate media rules, Adelstein said "we now know from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been today [June 13, 2005] upheld by the Supreme Court, that in fact the rules provided us much greater latitude. We would have been better served by working to promote the public interest more fully and being much more careful about our deregulating these media conglomerates." Go to the Media Access Project, public interest attorneys for Prometheus Radio Project in the lawsuit against the FCC rules for more information.
