Michael "Pro-Trust" Powell never saw a media merger he didn't like. Minority ownership of broadcast media outlets is abysmal. Yet here is the Commish, paying lip service to diversity. Is he really a black man? I'm a white guy and even I can see through his BS. People of color should be outraged by his (in)action with regards to diversity.
From Broadcasting and Cable, by John Eggerton:
"Congratulating the companies was FCC Chairman Michael Powell, who said in a statement: "These companies have realized that diversity can be a commercial advantage that should be cultivated in order to prosper in the marketplace.
"I commend them for the vision that will ensure that our communications industries are as diverse as the nation that they serve."
