Slog - Comments on Media Matters http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/media_matters Before you go to tonight's FCC hearing at Town Hall—4pm-11pm, 1119 Eighth Avenue—to speak truth to power, drop science, and make it plain about FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's ill-considered proposal to lift prohibitions against cross ownership in the media—check out Reclaim the Media's primer on the issues.

The Governor? Man, the last time I went to one of these FCC hearings it was mostly just a bunch...

If you go to City Hall looking for this, you probably will be locked out - again.
