FCC's Copps calls on agency to address decline of 'real journalism'
Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps made a case for a government hand in media policy in a speech to the FCBA on Tuesday.

"The commission can act now. It should have acted on the media before now. I am disappointed that it has not," he said.

The Democratic commissioner pointed to Fox News' Bernie Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly as examples of the problem with today's media landscape, saying the pair has taken his own words out of context.

"What you and I are getting these days is too much opinion based on opinion and too little news based on fact," Copps said.

I can't wait to hear what they have in mind.

2. "....saying the pair has taken his own words out of context."
Not a good idea doing that to the head of the FCC. :rofl:

O'Liely steps on his Dick again.
