The Washington Post has an article stating that the FCC has recieved only 11 comments in favor of further media deregulation, as opposed to over 9,000 emails and a petition with 170,000 signitures opposing deregulation.
Also, Reuters has an article describing how the major media sources have neglected to give the potential FCC deregulation any coverage.
