Presidential wannabe Barack Obama is calling on FCC Chairboy Kevin Martin to slow his roll on re-writing media ownership rules. This suggestion from someone wanting to take ob George Bush's headaches can't be going over well with big media players like Rupert Murdoch and others who would love to see the door thrown wide open my the FCC so they can go on a massive shopping and merger spree.Dear Chairboy Martin:
I am writing regarding your proposal to move forward aggressively with modifications to existing media ownership rules. According to press accounts, you intend to present specific changes to existing rules in November with a commission vote on that proposal -- whatever it may be – Dec. 18, 2007. I believe both the proposed timeline and process are irresponsible
