I'm going to bite- aside from AT&T and Time Warner, when is the last time the FTC has taken a pro-consumer action related to trusts?

- Clanan 9y agoI'm not very familiar with their history, honestly. But aren't you excluding two very good examples? Abstractly, I consider their effectiveness as separate from whether this should be under their purview. If they're ineffective, they should be fixed instead of having other agencies subsume their responsibilities.
- murph-almighty 9y agoI'm actually referring to one example. The reason why I don't count it is because it looks a LOT like it's being blocked for partisan reasons, rather than concerns about an actual monopoly. TWC owns CNN and the federal government wants them to divest it.
