[grc] SCOTUS ruling on media ownership rules (FCC v. Prometheus Radio)

[Susan Raybuck]

If anyone would like to join me in urging the president to swiftly fill the vacancy on the FCC with a strong consumer advocate with a background in working on media policy issues, here’s a link to the White House’s contact page. https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ <https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/>

At the Zoom meeting on US Media Bias and Propaganda: How Did We Get Here? Where Do We Go from Here?
with Jen Senko, Jeff Cohen, and Sue Wilson Tuesday evening, they pointed out that the FCC has an open seat and President Biden hasn’t announced his appointment for that seat yet. Seeing Pablito’s news, I was moved to get on the stick and write him. If he wants to restore the soul of our nation, he’s going to need to craft media policy that supports democracy. Especially after SCOTUS’s decision today.

Just fyi, there was excellent energy at that meeting, which I’m also seeing in a mixed group of conservatives and liberals (Braver Angels Media Action Group) I’ve been working with. After the formal discussion, the idea of considering organizing another National Conference on Media Reform was floated to capitalize on the surge in concern over the issue. (I’ve got my fingers crossed!)
