The PIRG-backed Stopbigmedia.com has links to the testimony of reform colleagues who testified at yesterday's poorly-advertised but well-attended FCC hearing on the lack of localism in the media, which hurts democracy. The Washington Post's Frank Ahrens has a story Critics Turn Out To Protest Media Consolidation that also mentions the successful rally outside, which featured champ U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), the Rev. Jesse Jackson and many others, including the "Prometheus Radio Project FCC Cheerleaders," a group with chants that appeared in full costume for Halloween. The story noted that "A dog wandered around wearing a sign reading "Big Media bites." That dog, Indy, is a U.S. PIRG four-legged advocate, she's owned by our consumer advocate Paul Brown. Also yesterday, the PIRG-backed Media and Democracy Coalition released survey findings that show strong public concern over media consolidation.
