Who: One of five FCC Board Commissioners (appointed during 2nd Bush Regime)

What: Voted for the deregulation of the media in June 2003.

Detail: Abernathy is another Bush appointee from 2001. Defending her decision to vote for deregulation, Abernathy said, "Any restraint placed on broadcasters’ free speech rights must be a reasonable means to further our public interest goals. The federal court opinions specifically tell me that any restrictions we place on ownership must be based on concrete evidence - not on fear and speculation about hypothetical media monopolies intent on exercising some type of Vulcan mind control over the American people." Since that decision we have seen Clear Channel put up billboards praising "Our Leader". What next? Perhaps a statue of Bush on the White House lawn with his hand raised the sky, blessing America as only God can. Scary.
