House Commerce Committee Wraps FCC Investigation

Apparently, the House Commerce Committee has closed its investigation of the Federal Communications Commission, but it will not hold a hearing on the results. The subcommittee investigation, launched in January, followed complaints externally and internally about how items were brought to a vote, information that was leaking to some lobbyists and not to others and complaints about FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's resolve to vote on modifying the ban on newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership despite attempts to stop or delay the vote by members of FCC oversight committees in both Houses.
