The nation's largest media corporations are now poised to gain dramatically greater control over what Americans watch, listen to and read. A February 19 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit nullified two longstanding government regulations limiting the scope and size of media companies. The investigation into the anthrax attacks that killed five people and infected eighteen others this past fall drags on, and the FBI says it has not identified any firm suspects. The whodunit question aside, U.S. President George W. Bush Administration has announced it will spend more than $11 billion to counter bioterrorism in the next two years.
