Calling all Billionaires! Rabble-rousing protesters are planning an action against media consolidation and for the public interest, to take place at the FCC on March 22. But Billionaires know that the only interest that matters is that which our shareholders accumulate - so isn't it time that we Billionaires for More Media Mergers come out and support the FCC and its chair, Michael Powell, who has called regulations "the oppressor"?
Calling all Billionaires!
At this page: (
www.geocities.com/artandpolitics/nycbillionaires/billsmediamerger.html) you can find information about a rabble-rousing protest against media consolidation and for the public interest, to take place at the FCC on March 22.
Now, Billionaires know full well that media consolidation is one of the key ways we elites maintain our wealth - and that holds true not only for those of us in the broadcasting and publishing industries. By controlling access to information our media companies control the direction and content of journalism and popular culture, a few mega-merged media conglomerates graciously and persistently protect the interests of big business and the free market and further marginalize those fringe protestors who whine so frequently about social inequities.
Isn't it time that we Billionaires for More Media Mergers come out and support the FCC and its chair, Michael Powell, who has called regulations "the oppressor"?
Can any of you fellows in wealth and power make some time in your day planners to come to DC on March 22 to show your love for big media and stand in counter-protest to these do-it-yourself indymedia types, these people who labor under the notion that media should operate on behalf of the public good, not Wall Street profits?
Would anybody like to help organize or participate in a Billionaires' presence at this event?

If you are interested respond ASAP so I can tell the organizers whether they can prepare themselves for a rousing "counter-protest."
Remember, the last time we Billionaires made a major showing in DC was for the Presidential Inauguration, where we "counter-protested" those who dared oppose our bought-and-paid for Prez, our Georgie-boy, and it was a great success, with great media coverage, to boot. Let's do it again!
