I don't usually embrace causes, but...

This one is easy to do something about, even if it's small.

The FCC is considering a relaxation of the regulations on media which would allow a fewer number of companies to own a larger share of the market—essentially, media anti-trust regulations become a thing of the past, and we only get to hear the opinions and views of a few large conglomerates. Hardly unbiased, I promise you.

So. If you would rather have a more balanced media environment where independent networks and journalists and so forth actually have a chance of survival (and we're not suddenly living in 1984), go to this website and dash off a quick email to your congressional representative. It's arranged so you don't have to remember who that is or to compose the email yourself, although I encourage you to put a personal message at the end so your congressperson knows you actually care and aren't a) a form-filling-out computer program or b) a lemming.

Thanks.
