Re: Get rid of the funding...

I get that, hence my saying I think the cross ownership rule should remain.

I don't have a huge problem with the idea of modestly sized newspaper chains (Stephens Media, who owns our local paper has never given me reason to think they shouldn't), nor of modestly sized radio or TV chains. The problem comes in when the chains grow too huge, or as you point out, the chain controls all the media outlets in a market.

I do think that enormous conglomerations of media outlets, like Time Warner, are sub-optimal to say the least. I'm all for capitalism, but like almost everything, it is only healthy in moderation.
