Cross-Ownership

Cross-ownership is, for example, when a corporation owns a broadcast outlet, a television or radio station, and a newspaper all in the same market in mass media.

Unfortunate results occur when liberals are in control of multiple media outlets at the same time. These results were seen recently in Virginia, where the State government declined to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction in the case of Provost v. Regents of Sullivan Fox Sawyer. The Federal Circuit Court of the Second District overturned the result, citing Beaufort v. Bellingham.
