one of my concerns especially in the smaller markets is newspapers and broadcast tv and radio stations are struggling. are there ways that we can help them stay in business and do what they do best which is cover local news and if it's more efficient for them to be able to distribute the news on different platforms that could help them stay in business and provide a vital source of information for localities. there are other considerations in terms of the consolidation we have to take into account. that is part of what we will be discussing. >> in the context of the media consolidation would you say that you are a aggressive or neutral or negative on making sure further consolidation happens? >> not to be glib but i can't describe imaginative. what i can tell you is i firmly believe a rule should match the marketplace we are in and that includes making sure we take account of the state is an industry market structure likek to ensure those competitive marketplaces. >> i'm looking at here record and this is why i'm concerned. you voiced disapproval against the media ownership rule and ur
