During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of media politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

AT&T Deal
AT&T is trying to merge with Time Warner, although Trump is strongly opposed to this deal. Trump argues that this merger would make AT&T too powerful, calling this merger "media concentration." Yet, it appears that Trump's main issue (at least, what he has vocalized) with this deal is that CNN would become a part of this merger, and Trump is vehemently opposed to CNN. Now, the justice department is asking AT&T to divest from CNN's parent company, Turner, to mitigate anti-trust concerns, but articles like this one question Trump's true motives.
