A Miscellany of Links

A few links and tidbits for your perusal.

Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania's 7th district is or has answered questions for one of the Inky's Q&A sessions.

In more Sestak news, he is featured on "A Day in the Life of Congressman Joe Sestak" on February 22 at 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm on CN8.

For those in the 8th congressional district, Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy is featured in the most recent issue of The Hill. Just as a teaser, we find out that he likes Hot Pockets and that the fellow congressman he rents a room from tends to take them. The article also touches on political matters.

Hi AAJ,

I couldn’t find an e-mail address on your blog, so I decided to post this in the comments section to make sure you got it.

I found your blog via leftyblogs.com and I wanted to send you this information about the FCC hearing coming up on Friday in Harrisburg. I thought you might want to blog about it and/or come to the event if you can.

For more info, you can also go to www.stopbigmedia.com

(by the way, I grew up in the Lehigh Valley, so while I live in Maine now, I am a native of PA)

Public Notice
Official FCC Hearing
on Media Ownership

Harrisburg will host the third of six official FCC hearings on media ownership on Friday, February 23, 2007

Scheduled to commence at 9 a.m.
in the Sunoco Performance Theater
at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts,
222 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA

This is a rare opportunity to share your thoughts about media
ownership with all five FCC Commissioners! Topics will include
whether or not one company should be allowed to own the daily
newspaper, a television station as well as radio stations in your
hometown. How might news coverage, media competition and
small business advertisers be impacted by such cross-media consolidation?

The FCC wants to hear from you!

Please visit: www.fcc.gov for further details

Jon,

Many bloggers, myself included, have an email address listed on our blogger profile. It is accessible but not easily lifted so it cuts down on the "enhancement" ads, etc.
