Media Monopolies

Media monopolies are definitely not jumping out at me. However, I did retrieve an article from "Asnycow Radio" explaining why media monopolies are not the best option. A federal court has at least temporarily lifted government rules that blocked media companies from owning a newspaper and a broadcast TV station in the same market.
The decision Tuesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit lifts the Federal Communications Commission’s “cross-ownership” ban. To me, the most important part of this article is when they comment that a TV station can not be in the same market as a newspaper. Why is that? Also, when will we find out for sure if the removal of the media monopolies are permanent?

To me this image speaks media monopoly, because it is showing us how the "Big dog" is taking over the "Little dog" and so on. Enjoy!
