This monstrous company has a monopoly on radio and concerts. They pass of Rush Limbaugh as news, jack up concert prices, shrink playlists, shrink playlist, and basically make radio and music suck. How many times do i need to hear the same Foo Fighters song within an hour?

Please tell me one of the candidates would break this media demon up>

3. The next Democratic President
Edited on Wed Dec-03-03 08:09 PM by mobuto
is going to prioritize enforcement of anti-trust laws. The candidates - Clark, Kerry, Dean, Edwards, Gephardt, Mosely-Braun, Kucinich, Sharpton - have signalled a willingness to return to the traditional Democratic position of challenging monopolistic restraints to trade in precisely the way the Clinton Administration didn't.

On edit: Please note that the above list does not include Senator Lieberman. That was deliberate.

4. Why is Lieberman always fighting against us?
Why does he take Rupert Murdoch's and Clear Channel's side promoting the consolidation of media industries?

I like how he tries to play off as the only candidate who is sincere because his positions are "unpopular". Why does he take these stupid positions then?

He's a puzzling character
