SENATE TO SCHEDULE MEDIA OWNERSHIP VOTE SOON
Look for the Senate within the next two or three weeks to vote on a resolution to invalidate the Federal Communications Commission's newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rule change. Apparently the resolution will be taken up under expedited rules, which means that all it needs is 51 votes, not the 60 that would make it filibuster-proof.
