LOL I wanted something controversial! Something about how big government and large corporations are combining to poison us with BS.

I'm trying to understand this right now.
The House and the Senate want to restrict Media access to 35% of a market. Only FOX and CBS right now have more than that %. The President and the FCC want to raise this to 45%. In order to prevent the FCC from implementing the higher standard, the House is trying to restrict the funds the FCC needs to implement the higher standard. I can't figure out why the FCC would need more money in order for the networks to increase their market share? This makes no sense to me.
