EDWARDS CRITICIZES FCC IN N.C. STOP

U.S. Sen. John Edwards used an appearance before North Carolina broadcasters Tuesday to renew his opposition to a decision by the Federal Communications Commission that lets national networks own more local television stations.

"You know better than some out-of-touch executive in New York or Angeles what's interesting and what's important for people in Charlotte or Raleigh," Edwards told a gathering at Wrightsville Beach of the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters, according to remarks released by his Senate office.
