I don't follow - what is General Counsel?
Also, when they are saying the fix is in, what are they referring to? This article is a little vague....
The General Counsel(head lawyer) for the FCC can rule that in the best interests of the public that McDowell must vote on the merger to break the deadlock, even though McDowell excused himself from the case claiming conflict of interest.
By "the fix is in", they mean that McDowell(a Republican) would most likely vote with the other 2 Republicans and approve the merger with only minor conditions being required. Saying "the fix is in" just means that those opposed to the merger wouldn't be happy if the merger is approved. But, of course, there is no way of knowing for sure how McDowell will vote. He may vote with the Dems and only approve the merger with many conditions being required. -- -- My BLOG My Web Page |
