FCC rules overturned!!
Didn't see where anyone else had posted this today:

WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court refused on Thursday to allow loosened federal rules on media ownership to take effect, dealing a blow to large broadcasters like News Corp. and Tribune Co. looking to extend their reach.

Federal rules like allowing one company to own both a newspaper and a television or radio station in the same town will remain on hold until the Federal Communications Commission better explained them, the court said.

4. Is that it? Or can the "fascist five" on the Supreme Court still get a
shot at it?

5. Yay! I guess the FCC will appeal to the S.Ct.? We know
what will happen in that court.
