WE DON'T NEED TO BE EMPIRICISTS TO KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MEDIA!
Join our brigade of Mad Scientists in Richmond, Virginia on February
26-27
to stop the FCC from eliminating nearly all of the remaining protections
against media monopolies.
FCC Chairman Michael Powell has said that he only wants to hear from
media
empiricists about the issues of media concentration, because the comment
he is getting from the public is too "emotional" and "political." We're
telling Michael Powell we don't want to be part of his experiment in
Media
Monopoly!
Without media ownership rules, one transnational company could legally
own
ALMOST ALL the media in your town. That same company might also own big
weapons suppliers or nuclear power plants!
Do you trust that company to tell you everything you need to know about
war, government spending, or environmental issues?
If they get their way, you won't have any other choices!
*********************************
FEBRUARY 27, 9:00 A.M.
Rally and FCC Hearing- Greater Richmond Convention Center, 403
N. Third Street, Ballroom Building, Level 1, Meeting Room 15AB
Mad Scientists donning Einstein wigs and labcoats will descend on the
FCC
Hearing to present our evidence that the titrations of media
concentration are bad for the nation. They will use their high-tech
laboratory grade "Mediational Suckolizer" and electrodes and graphs and
test tubes and flashing spark gaps to discover how much empirical
evidence
there really is for allowing the corporations to grow their fiendish
media
empires.
FEBRUARY 26, 7:00 P.M.
Teach-in with Speakers and Films
Details TBA.

FCC TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING ON BROADCAST OWNERSHIP RULES
10AM to 4PM , Thursday, February 27 in Richmond, VA
The public is invited to participate in the FCC's review of its
broadcast ownership rules at an En Banc Hearing being held on
Thursday, February 27, 2003 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Greater
Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Virginia. The hearing is an
excellent opportunity for the public to offer the Commission comments
on how the agency can develop broadcast ownership rules that provide
citizens with viewpoints from a diversity of sources and enhance the
marketplace of ideas. One of the FCC's primary goals in its ownership
regulations is the promotion of competition, diversity and localism in
the media.
