President Bush, already suffering from low poll numbers on his handling of Post-War Iraq and the economy suffered another setback today when the Republican-dominated Senate voted to overturn the recent FCC rule changes that would have allowed media congomerates to own even more media outlets.

The Senate approved, 55-40, a resolution that would roll back the Federal Communications Commission rules allowing television networks to own more local stations and permitting conglomerates to own a newspaper, television stations and radio outlets in a single market.

Supporters of the rule changes included Viacom, CBS and NewsCorp (Fox).

Critics, ranging from the National Rifle Association to Consumers Union as well as Democrats and Republicans in Congress, charged that the rules would narrow the choices of viewpoints and cut local news coverage.
