[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Free Press is looking to capitalize on the controversy swirling around ABC's Path to 9-11 by asking its Web army to complain to the FCC. In an e-mail alert it asked that complaints about the program be sent to the FCC as comments about it's broadcast ownership rule re-write: "ABC's plan to air an inaccurate 9-11 'docu-drama' has ignited public outrage, but the problem of political manipulation will remain unless more people act now to stop media giants from becoming even more powerful. The FCC is poised to give companies like Disney even more power over our airwaves. The public needs to speak up now to tell the FCC to stop conglomerates like Disney from gobbling up more local media and setting the agenda. Now's your chance to tell Disney and the FCC that Big Media is big enough."
