38WASHINGTON, D.C.0510 Our junior senator is promoting a measure that would give local broadcasters and newspapers much-needed relief from outdated government restrictions. Rand Paul says the Local News and Broadcast Media Preservation Act would exempt print, broadcast, and digital news organizations from federal antitrust laws to allow them to compete with and negotiate with national tech companies. It would also eliminate the local and national caps on radio and television ownership and would create an environment which would allow maximum flexibility for competition and negotiation.
