Ted
A surprise following yesterday's bad news about the FCC allowing media to homogenize, it seems Ted Turner, of all people, opposes the FCC here, too.

If these rules had been in place in 1970, it would have been virtually impossible for me to start Turner Broadcasting or, 10 years later, to launch CNN.

Ms. VT
Okay, no fascist court should be allowed to block anything that promises to be as morbidly funny as Tucker Max's account of his relationship with a former Ms. Vermont. A flavor of the case, from the Times article:

Ms. Johnson's site is www.katyjohnson.com. Mr. Max's is www.tuckermax.com. Both Ms. Johnson and Mr. Max sell T-shirts and the books they have written on their sites. Ms. Johnson's book is "True Beauty: A Sunny Face Means a Happy Heart." Mr. Max's is "The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines."
