FCC Chairman Resignation Rumors

I for one hope this rumor is true. He has let small far-right religious groups have too much power over his decisions. Although I doubt W would put in anyone more moderate. I know there are moderate Repubicans out there and one of them must be good for the FCC, but I am sure there is a wish in the administration to keep the heat on the entertainment industry in regards to even the most bland sexual references - "all the violence you want is fine, no matter how graphic, but we must crack down on the sex!"

Powell isn't really a religious righty, but more a free market type who doesn't mind if one or two companies own everything.

I know, but he still is giving creedance to a very small minority. His deregulation policies are going too far as well. Another strike against him in my book, but I doubt his replacement will be much better.

It's official now. I just hope that they get someone with a more "hand's off" attitude. I think in general the government has gotten into to much after 9-11 whether they are just using the attacks as an excuse for somethings or not.
