And, you
apparently expected the specious Bill Kennard or indolate Reed Hundt to take
leadership positions in advocating a particular flavor of transition? These
guys hid under the rocks. The off-color and disgusting jokes about Powell
are what happens to a FCC Chairman in the public eye. Remember, the
ownership caps that Powell is politically blamed for were approved and
endorsed by Commissions headed by Hundt and Kennard.
Hundt and Kennard did indeed hide under the rocks. Their refusal to take
strong positions and kick people in the ass when they needed kicking is what
got
us where we are today. Powell hasn't been much better in that regard. He takes
a position and makes motivating speeches only after he's been leaned on long
and hard.
