Every now and then you find a conservative who's really conservative, not just covering for bigger and bigger concentrations of power:

Safire:

The overwhelming amount of news and entertainment comes via broadcast and print. Putting those outlets in fewer and bigger hands profits the few at the cost of the many.

"Does that sound un-conservative? Not to me. The concentration of power - political, corporate, media, cultural - should be anathema to conservatives. The diffusion of power through local control, thereby encouraging individual participation, is the essence of federalism and the greatest expression of democracy."

Calls to action to keep the FCC from decimating remaining controls on media concentration at http://moveon.com and other sites.
