Medialife Magazine interviews an Angel

Medialife: What do you say to the anti-regulatory argument that the profusion of new channels of media made possible by satellite TV, digital cable and the internet makes old ownership restrictions obsolete?

Angel: I think the same thing could be said about neo-liberal market ideology: ItÂ’s obsolete…. The other problem with the argument is it makes the simple assumption that abundance means a plurality of outlets and a diversity of viewpoints, and I think you can cite several cases where that’s not actually happening.
