The Tennessean ran an article with quotes from yesterday’s FCC Hearing.
They left out the best one, of course, which is a response to the overwhelming majority of testimony against media consolidation and big business’ stranglehold on the public’s airwaves:
“Because, by now, the question is not what we think. You know what we think. The question is: Does it matter? Are you here today to truly listen to what we want as a people and then go back to Washington and act on it? Or are you here today simply to humor us?” — Lonnie Ray Atkinson, Asskicker
Lonnie Ray Atkinson is a heck of a guy. I am reading his latest book and i’m glad there are people like Lonnie looking out for me.
