Sen. Maria Cantwell cautioned FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to reconsider the agency's proposed rules on media ownership. Cantwell recalled that the Senate passed a resolution of disapproval in response to the FCC's previous attempt to loosen media ownership rules, and that the newly proposed rules are very similar those rejected four years ago.

Cantwell questioned Genachowski at a Senate Commerce Committee FCC oversight hearing on May 16, 2012. For more information about media ownership, go to http://www.savethenews.org/consolidation.
