Michael Powell to resign?

[Jeremy Mixer]

You are correct there, I am not arguing with that.

What I do not approve of is an FCC chairman who tries to push to lighten 
up ownership rules even more than they are now. THIS is where I had a 
problem.

I will also say that it certainly SEEMED that the FCC was being a lot more 
picky about the regulations....I forget the name of the movie as it is 
late- but how many ABC stations were too scared to broacast the movie that 
has been shown on ABC several times before? The FCC is there to maintain 
rules of broadcasting, not to scare everyone.
