A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: Cable companies lose a four-year battle to weaken local regulation in more than 40 states and are now moving to deregulate state-by-state. Local TV news was nearly devoid of local political news coverage during the 2004 elections. Efforts are afoot in Congress to take on government propaganda and Big Media, allthough the future of the First Amendment looks troublesome.
