One guy who doesn’t like media monopolies

According to an oft-told anecdote, “President Clinton once blocked an attempt to allow television stations to buy daily newspapers in the same city because, he said, if the so-and-so who owned the anti-Clinton Little Rock Democrat-Gazette had owned the leading TV station in Little Rock, too, Clinton would never have become President.” From Nicholas Lemann’s profile of Michael Powell in Ocober 7, 2002 edition of The New Yorker.
