Protest
Mark, still dressed in his tux, heads over to the protest
at the FCC against the deregulation of the airwaves. He joins
two other "Billionaires for Media Mergers" who challenge
the protesting "Angels of Public Interest." Shown here
being interviewed, cigar in mouth and wad of money in his hand,
he tells about how lucrative the media mergers are to him and
his corporate media cronies.

in Washington during protest of the deregulation of broadcast
media.
Reverend Billy stated that the FCC protest March 22,
2002 is the beginning of a great movement in which the media will
be democratized.The Reverend tried to touch a soul of one of the
"Billionaires for Media Mergers" to get him to see the
error of his ways. We believe he has succeeded in this case. The
Billionaire went back to Memphis, Tennessee and is now engaged
in media democracy efforts.
