It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention.

Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?
