My Space Refused Our Ad! * Common cause needs our help

From My email.

My Space has censored our ad about the dangers of media consolidation.

Common Cause members have already sent tens of thousands of messages to the FCC - but in this final week before the deadline, we wanted to advertise on high-traffic websites to recruit new activists. Outrageously, My Space told us that they "won't allow that to be shown." (The ad we submitted is below.)

Maybe My Space doesn't want the word getting out about proposed changes to the ownership rules because they themselves are owned by a media conglomerate. In 2005, My Space was gobbled up by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which also owns Fox.

Their refusal proves our point: Big Media has too much control over what the public hears, sees and watches -- and we need to let the FCC know it.

While My Space's decision is disappointing, there is still time to tell the FCC 'no more media consolidation' . But we need to move fast, and we need your input.

1. Go to CommonBlog and vote for the sites where you think we should place our ad. Time is short; we need to get this together in the next 24 hours.http://www.commonblog.com/story/2007/1/10/103219/774?tr...

2. If you are a My Space user, put our ad up on your own My space page, or on any other website or blog you are active with.http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=...

3. Make a financial contribution. The more money we raise, the more outreach we can conduct. We need to show the FCC how important this issue is to the public. https://www.kintera.org/site/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp?c=dkL...

Thank you for everything you do.



Sincerely,

6. Isn't My Space Owned By Mrs. Clinton's Newest Bestest Friend,

Sir Rupert Murdoch?

Why would Sir Rupert want to thwart a campaign to stop media consolidation?
