FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein railed against media consolidation last week, speaking to a crowd of 500 people at the University of Iowa. He said that media deregulation tends to harm small communities, where local broadcast news dries up. He warned that getting giant media companies to unmerge is "virtually impossible."
