Josh Stearns is Program Director at Free Press, FreePress.net. We talk about the Free Press letter writing campaign to get President Obama to make good on a campaign pledge to act against an excess of power in the hands of any one corporation, interest or small group. We discuss what Obama said in 2008 about Net Neutrality and Media Diversity. A clip posted on FreePress.net shares the exciting promises, one year after the fact and as we see the biggest mega merger yet about to take place. Free Press is calling on Obama to step in.
Comcast would control the mega giant MSNBC network of programming including Bravo, E!, and Universal Pictures. According to Free Press this will mean they can raise prices for competitors, and those price increases will be passed on to consumers. They are also worried about fewer choices for consumers, and we know what that means during election time in this age of billion dollar Presidential campaigns. An ever smaller focus for news and discussion about candidates and issues.
* We discuss the Uprising Campaign against what Free Press calls a Mega-Merger in media power. What it would mean in terms of media access and news coverage.
* The Free Press challenge to President Barack Obama. They are asking the President to make good on his 2008 campaign pledges to act against excesses of power in the hands of any one media corporation, interest or small group.
* And we look at Marc Cooper's report at Free Press on anti trust laws and other topics. Could a legal case stop the merger?
