DISAPPROVAL OF FCC OWNERSHIP RULE SUBMITTAL -- (Senate - May 15, 2008)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CANTWELL. Mr. President, I rise, obviously, to encourage my colleagues here. This is an issue we dealt with before. While media consolidation might be good for Wall Street, it is not good for Main Street. The diversity of voices has been a key component to our society, and preserving them by making sure we don't have a consolidation of media is very important.

I urge my colleagues to disapprove of the FCC rule on media consolidation.
