Say goodbye to another cherished American quality...

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said that commissioners are "very concerned" about media ownership consolidation ahead of a vote that is expected to relax rules on the issue.

What this means, guys, is if you think your news and other broadcasts are bad now, wait until every genre of news, including print, is owned by only a handful of corporations with very obvious political inclinations.

LA is already the worst market for this. Disney owns ABC, Viacom owns CBS, Chicago Tribune owns KTLA and The LA Times...keyword on that: "Chicago." Westinghouse, I believe, still owns NBC.

As of Monday, when this "relaxation" goes through, the age of one-sided journalism will really come into vogue.
