"I don't want nobody to give me nothing. (Open up the door, I'll get it myself.)"

- James Brown

The Godfather of Soul could have easily been singing to the Federal Communications Commission, a body out of control in its efforts to turn American values of independent and diverse media on their heads.

The FCC sets the rules for media; right now, it is setting them to benefit media magnates and their high-priced lawyers and lobbyists. As a result, media are whiter, wealthier and more removed from my life and yours.
