Dotard’s minions changed the rules, so Conservative TV can take over the airwaves, knocking out competition and raise prices

Trump’s regulators approve TV merger that set off conservative media feud

The Federal Communications Commission approved the $6.2 billion merger of Nexstar and Tegna, creating the nation’s largest broadcaster in a deal that set off a fierce power struggle within conservative media.

The combined company will own more than 250 TV stations and reach more than half of American households, breaching a cap passed by Congress in 2004 that limits broadcasters to only reaching 39 percent of viewers.

 “The FCC has once again chosen bureaucratic cover over public accountability,” Gomez said. “This merger was approved behind closed doors with no open process, no full Commission vote, and no transparency for the consumers and communities who will bear the consequences.”

She warned that “Nexstar has already begun cutting newsrooms throughout the country” and that “the consequences of this rubber stamp approval will be felt in living rooms and newsrooms across the country, resulting in fewer voices, less competition, and higher costs for consumers, while they get a steady diet of conservative views.”
