Excellent job covering the candidates’ views on media deregulation. It’s clear to me that Kucinich is the one, and this is one of the many reasons why. The author should note that Kucinich did not just convert in time for the campaign. Kucinich co-sponsored legislation to protect the public’s airwaves and media outlets since 1998 (samples follow): HR 486 - Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999: A bill to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require the Federal Communications Commission to preserve low-power television stations that provide community broadcasting.
H.R. 2813 - The Cable T.V. Consumers Protection Act. A bill to authorize States to regulate the rates for cable television service and to impose a one-year moratorium on increases in such rates.
H.R. 1842 - FCC Authority to Regulate Cable Television Rates. A bill to repeal section 301 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act which removed FCT authority to regulate cable television rates and to receive consumer complaints.

I’ve read a few articles on this sight entitled “the candidates on…..”
I’d like to point out that with the two I can remember, when it came to Dennis Kucinick the writer states “he is the only candidate to come out in favor / against blah, blah etc”. I’ve also seen this trend in other articles about Mr. kucinich and it seems to me that being “the only one” is what appeals to me the most. I’m so tired of the dems boring and often retarded and empty ideas / rhetoric. Seems like Kucinich has alot of “the only one” ideas” and he’s writing them down and presenting them. If Dean or Kerry or any of “the same ones” crowd wants my vote they need to have some new ideas and write them down in the form of a plan, show it to us and let us know where they stand.
HOWARD, we already know whats wrong….What are you going to DO about it??
Just talking shit is not cutting it any more and Kucinich knows it. Thats why any time I see him out stumping he tells us what’s wrong and what he would do about it.
HE HAS A PLAN and he’s letting us see it! As for the other candidates if they have a plan I couldnt tell you what it is. I’m listening but I dont hear anything. Bagging on Bush may be fun but enough already, it’s time to get down to the business of what are you going to do to fix things. So far Kucinich is “the only one” who has said anything.

This is the first time I’ve come to your site. Your fair and balanced reporting is quite refreshing. Thanks so much for acknowledging that Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate with a “concrete policy” concerning media concentration.
It seems he’s the only candidate with a
concrete policy on many things. It’s rare to hear news sources reporting it, but getting less rare.
I appreciate your integrity.
