Will the FCC Give Rupert Murdoch the Powerful Gift of Media Consolidation?

Will the FCC Give Rupert Murdoch the Powerful Gift of Media Consolidation?
"Just in time for the holidays, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering changes to media cross-ownership rules that watchdogs say could good give Rupert Murdoch's massive conglomerate News Corporation the go-ahead to acquire more big media outlets.
The proposal could also keep women and minorities out of the media market, according to civil rights groups.
Reports suggest Murdoch has recovered from the British phone hacking scandal and is ready to jump back into the media consolidation game."
