Former FCC Commissioner Warns About Comcast-Time Warner Merger, "Mindless" Media Consolidation

...Our society right now is controlled more by money I think than in any era since the notorious Gilded Age [...] What we all need to realize in this country, that there is never going to be democracy now until we have media democracy now and we're not going to get media democracy now until we put the brakes on this mindless consolidation [...] and put the FCC back in the business of protecting the public interest. - Michael Copps, Former Commissioner, FCC via Democracy Now!
