American Opinion: REMEMBER LEAD text summary. Written By: Seattle Times Editorial Board | 7:30 am, Apr. 9, 2021 × American OpinionPaula Pandey Chhetri / Forum Design Center The U.S. Supreme Court last week upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s wrongheaded decision to allow more media consolidation. This comes amid a crisis in local journalism, an epidemic of misinformation and growing division undermining America’s democracy. Media consolidation and the resulting disinvestment in local news are worsening these problems. The FCC, as reconfigured by President Joe Biden, should revisit the issue and restore limits on cross-ownership of media outlets. Specifically, the agency should restore rules preventing media companies from owning both a newspaper and radio or TV stations in a single market, and limiting the number of radio and TV stations a company can own in one market.
