Trump FCC lets Nexstar buy Tegna and blow way past 39% TV ownership cap

The approval of Nexstar's acquisition of Tegna reflects ongoing tensions between regulatory frameworks and corporate interests in the media landscape. By allowing Nexstar to exceed ownership limits, the FCC under Carr seems to prioritize economic growth and consolidation over the foundational principles of media diversity and local representation. This move could set a precedent for further deregulation in the media sector, potentially leading to a homogenization of viewpoints.
