Jack Shafer defending
Rupert Murdoch? It's true. FCC commissioner
Michael Copps "
neglects to acknowledge Murdoch's
never-ending role in
increasing media competition and media diversity," says Shafer. "If Copps were a true fan of diversity, he'd be handing Murdoch a plaque thanking him for increasing media diversity by subsidizing a conservative tabloid in the New York market, which has voted consistently over the last 30 years that it really doesn't want to support such a sheet."
