FCC media monopoly deregulation: good or bad?

As youse guys know the FCC ( under Michael Powell son of Colin Powell ) wanna deregulate restrictions on media monopolization. Meaning it allows companies to gobble up other people's shit.

Example is 'Clear Channel' the radio conglomerate that eats up all the local stations and floods us with the likes of Rush ( I've gotta mealoaf sandwich stuck in my throat ) Limbaugh, and Dr. ( ain't seen dick in years ) Laura.

To beat all that musicians are taking a friggin' beating. If they don't tow the line with Clear Channel they don't get played. Lotsa great alternative bands don't see the light of day and DJs are held back.
