First, I would have to see the specific parts of the bill myself before I could agree. Explanations by outside parties as to what they 'think' items in the bill mean, mean nothing, especially when I detect a HATE BUSH/HATE REPUBLICANS, IT's ALL THEIR FAULT attitude on the part of the explainer.

Second is this: Hidden Clause No. 2: The GOP is also trying to overturn recent congressional legislation which blocked the Federal Communications Commission from implementing new rules allowing foreign ownership of our media as well as increasing the percentage of the media one company can control. This will allow diluted news outlets that will jeopardize American democracy.

Sorry, our 'media' is foreign owned, and the percentage of the media one company controls in reality is about 99%. Also, the words 'diluted news outlets' refers to the freedom to have different views and opinions expressed in the news, which the writer of the article is against. The writer, and the owners of the media currently, prefer it the way it is now. 99% of the news is taken from a single source. You can tell this if you watch ABC NBC CBS. You hear the newscasters repeating the same stories word for word. The only thing 'diluted' news would do is jeapordize the Democratic Party Leaders, not Democracy.

Moveon.org is a PAC. The information they provide is hardly from an unbiased viewpoint.

Useful idiots that listen to their drumbeat will lead us to socialism.

What ever happened to "censure and move on"?
