MediaChannel | Michael Powell Lays an Egg
Jonathan Rintels, on FCC Chairman Michael Powell, in MediaChannel.org:
Now that a U.S. Court of Appeals has rightfully tossed out the Commission's new rules that would have exponentially increased media concentration and consolidation -- rules which Powell pushed through the FCC despite an overwhelming public outcry last year -- his tenure as Chairman, which so many expected would lead to him becoming a star in Republican politics, may instead be his political swan song.
