While Charlie Rose may be interviewing the candidates in our Mashup on September 12, readers like you will be feeding him the tough questions that need to be asked.

My Question is for Hillary Clinton:

Your husband signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law, triggering an avalanche of media consolidation in this country. The Act was claimed to foster competition, but instead it led to unprecedented reductions in the numbers of broadcast station owners and, by implication, a similar reduction in the variety, quantity and quality of information available to the viewing and listening public.

(The number of major media companies has been reduced from around 80 in 1986, to approximately 6 at last count).

Even in this age of the internet, statistics show that 80% of the voters in this country use television as their major source of information.

I would like to know if you see this reduction in the number and variety if station owners as a danger to our Democracy, and if so, how you intend to increase the diversity of station ownership and insure that the public's interest is served instead of the interests of giant media conglomerates? Since we now have the benefit of hindsight, would you advocate rolling back some of the provisions that your husband signed into law in 1996?
