SINCLAIR ACTION CONSTITUTES “SOVIETIZATION” OF U.S. TELEVISION
OCT 14: Congressman Bernie Sanders was joined by 31 members of Congress in writing to Federal Communication Commission Chairman Powell to demand that he prevent Sinclair Broadcasting from using its control of 62 television stations to improperly influence the November 2 Presidential election. Sanders and the other signers warned that Sinclair’s actions represent a move toward a corporate-directed media similar to the state-run television that existed in the former Soviet Union. They also pointed to the FCC Chairman Powell’s support of great media consolidation as facilitating the acts of Sinclair and the loss of media diversity.
Working hand in hand with the pharmaceutical industry, the Administration consistently forces Americans to pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. Through a combination of initiatives including prescription drug re-importation from Canada, Congressman Sanders has been leading the fight to bring relief to all Americans. LEARN MORE
The Bush Administration has increasingly lifted limits on media consolidation. Sinclair Broadcasting's recent decision to censor Nightline and Disney's refusal to release Michael Moore's latest film are part of a disturbing trend that limits our access to divergent viewpoints and diminishes our ability to make well informed decisions.
