Obama, Murdoch, Limbaugh and You

The corporate media lobby has dictated media
ownership rules for decades, and the
results are appalling:

People of color own just 3
percent of our country’s full-power TV stations, and just 7.7 percent of our
radio stations. Women own just 6 percent of all broadcast outlets. And the collusion
between corporate media and powerful leaders in Washington has allowed
companies like News Corp. to create
monopolies in local print and broadcast media and crowd out independent
voices.

Now Obama’s Federal Communications Commission is favoring a rule change that
would hand the likes of Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh even more power over
broadcast media.

Join the tens of thousands of people who have told
the FCC that enough is enough. It’s
time to stop runaway media
consolidation. Together we can demand that
FCC commissioners stand up to media giants and pave the
way for diverse, independent media.

Dear Federal Communications Commission:
I am joining with tens of thousands of Americans to urge you to foster more independent media outlets across the United States. We need your agency to expand media ownership opportunities for women and people of color. Given our nation's diversity, we need more independent stations to provide communities with diverse programming and a range of viewpoints.

More media mergers translates into less of the news and information people really need. Please abandon any proposal that would leave communities with fewer voices and fewer choices in local media.
