The beginings of deregulation started under Reagan.  I can't think of
anything deregulated under Carter.)

That is a correct statement of fact.

As far as 'ownership rules'...when did they lift the cap on 7 am/fm stations
to 14?  Wasn't that the early 80's?

Again, simply a statement of fact...as a time reference.  Deregulation began
under Reagan.

Secondly, give me a break.  We've all been thru this discussion before.  As
others have said...there is plenty of blame to go around without any finger
pointing (which I don't think Koppel did)....or is there room for overly
sensitive political types in this discussion.

Again, as has been said by others on this list...there is muck on both sides
of the aisle.
