Federal Appeals Court Overturns Caps on Ownership, Further
Undermining Democratic Freedoms
by Paul Kurtz
responses should be sent to: busterhl@centerforinquiry.net
In an incredible decision a Federal Appeals Court rescinded FCC
regulations which limited media conglomerates from controlling more
than 30 percent of the cable- and satellite-TV market. It also lifted the
ban on broadcasters owning TV stations that exceeded 35 percent of
the total national viewership, or from dominating more than 40 percent
of the programming.
These regulations were based upon the 1992 Cable Television
Consumers Protection and Competition Act that empowered the FCC to
set ownership caps. The new FCC chairman, Michael Powell, has
indicated recently that he thought that there should be few if any limits
on ownership - and that the "free market" alone should decide the
limits.
The court decision was hailed by spokesmen for AT&T and
AOL/Time-Warner, the two largest cable operators in the United
States. An AOL representative said that the ruling was "a great day
for cable operators' First Amendment rights."
This is a form of doublespeak, for it guarantees unprecedented power
for huge conglomerates to further dominate the free market of ideas.
What about the First Amendment rights of the rest of Americans
whose outlets for expression will be further narrowed? The Court's
decision will undoubtedly set off a new wave of consolidation; and will
further limit diversity at a time when the scientific and rationalist
viewpoint is all too rarely heard in the mass media, and when
programming appeals more to popular entertainment than to accurate
scientific information and education.
The United States already lacks adequate forums for scientific
naturalism and humanism. There is insufficient opportunity for
skepticism to challenge untested pseudoscientific, paranormal, or spiritual
claims. This is a sad day for the ideal of the open society. By having
fewer and fewer alternative voices heard in the media, democracy is
bound to suffer.
