Moyers & Co. Cites FAIR on Media Consolidation

Michael Corcoran, writing in Moyers & Company (3/30/16; originally published in Truthout, 2/11/16), cites FAIR’s critique of media deregulation in the 1990s:

Now is a good time to discuss our growing media crises. Twenty years ago last month, President Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The act, signed into law on February 8, 1996, was “essentially bought and paid for by corporate media lobbies,” as Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) described it, and radically “opened the floodgates on mergers.”
