YouTube user fallofautumndistro submitted a question on media consolidation to the Democratic YouTube debate that was very much like mine.

While it was not shown in the debate (big surprise!), it was one of the top rated videos over at Community Counts, a website built to allow users to vote on submitted questions, and candidate Chris Dodd ended up providing an answer.

While I'm not sold on Dodd as a candidate, I thought he has some good answers during the debate, and his answer to this question was spot on. He hit all the major factors that contribute to the media mess we have in America today, including ownership bans, net neutrality, and increased broadband access for unconnected Americans. I'm impressed, what about you?
