is sort of a pet issue of mine. I think once media ownership is "re-regulated", it both mitigates the financial incentives that give "entertainment value" primacy over information fidelity, but it also detracts from the momentum of misinformation and leaves relatively small outlets more amenable to public pressure for accountability.

Obama said he'd do it, though I imagine the pressure against such a move is pretty immense. I dearly hope he will.
