HOUSE PANEL ADDS VOICE TO OPPONENTS OF MEDIA RULE
By Jacques Steinberg, New York Times

"The recent decision by federal regulators to loosen media ownership
rules, already under fire in the Senate, took another blow in Congress
yesterday. This setback was dealt by the House Appropriations
Committee, which approved a budget amendment that would make it harder
for big broadcasting companies to acquire more television stations.

The vote represented a defeat for Michael K. Powell, the Federal
Communications Commission chairman, who has led the effort to change
the rules. It was also a rebuke to the Republican House leadership and
the Bush administration, strong supporters of the commission's
efforts."
