The Senate yesterday voted 55 to 40 to overturn all of the controversial new media ownership rules approved by the Federal Communications Commission last month. A dozen Republicans led by Mississippi Senator Trent Lott joined with Democrats in passing a “resolution of disapproval” that gives Congress the power to block federal agency regulations. Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.), warned the FCC rules would lead to QUOTE “galloping concentration” in the media industry. The White House has threatened to veto any measure that diminishes the FCC rules which were lobbied for by the major media organizations. The resolution now heads to the House which is not expected to approve such a sweeping measure. The Senate vote came less than two weeks after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia put the new FCC rules on hold as it considered an appeal.
