"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past"

I'm sorry to speak of Dean in this manner, but what an asshole!

It looks like Dean is a tad bit unstable...

To argue that he wants the American people to get their information from more than just "one political spectrum" and then to urge abolition of conservative media outlets is totally illogical.

The man is out to lunch, totally.

Newsmax Title - "Dean: I'd 'Break Up' Fox News"

Article - "I don't want to answer whether I would break up Fox or not." - Dean

LOL. Hey, did I get taken for a ride here, or what? ;-)

"What I'm going to do is appoint people to the FCC that believe democracy depends on getting information from all portions of the political spectrum, not just one."

Wow. Dean's going to break up See-BS.

Dean should be applauding Fox, not breaking it up. And besides, isn't that "censorship"?

A more insightful followup would have been, "Are you planning on breaking up Time-Warner as well?"

Dean shot back, "On ideological grounds, absolutely yes."

At that point Dean seemed to sense that he had gone too far and began to equivocate, saying, "I don't want to answer whether I would break up Fox or not."

Too late... you're already on record, Howie.

Dean would adopt Colmes and hang Hannity, that would be his first priority.

But Fox is one too many.

The fact that he singled out FOX News (as opposed to companies like Viacom, Time-Warner, ClearChannel, etc.) shows just what his agenda really is.

On the other hand, he raises a very interesting point about the application of antitrust law to media conglomerates. I have a hard time accepting the notion of multiple-media ownership in a nation where some industries are prohibited by law from doing the exact same thing.

Can you imagine the media firestorm if Bush ever suggested - even jokingly - that he was going to try to break up news organizations hostile to his administration? But here we have the Democratic front-runner openly musing about breaking up Fox - and admitting that he fantasizes about suppressing Fox because of its ideology - and it will barely create a ripple in the national media.

Doesn't Murdoch only own around 8% of the market share?
