This is a very underrated comment.
The second point, that the FCC is not the correct body, was something I had never thought of before. Why is the FCC trying to make anti-trust rules? The FDA doesn't make anti-trust rules for companies it oversees.

- makomk 9y agoCuriously enough, one of the other controversies in the news right now is the DOJ - which normally enforces anti-trust rules - supposedly telling AOL that they'd have to sell off either Turner Broadcasting or DirecTV if they wanted to merge with Time Warner due to competition concerns. Apparently this was an evil attack by Trump on the media, nothing whatsoever to do with the issues caused by one company owning both a major pay TV provider and a major provider of content.
