| Description: | Senators Dorgan & Lott Press Conference on FCC Rules - Senator Byron Dorgan (D) and Senator Trent Lott (R) 01.02.50 Senator Byron Dorgan speaking at podium says "These rules are very important, they will effect every single American. This is not some irrelevant debate, some interesting theoretical debate, everything that the people in this country see, read and hear is effected by the outcome of this debate. The question of whether in the future, what people in America, what people in this greatest democracy in the world, the question of what they see, read and hear and whether it's directed or comes from fewer and fewer voices is a very important question for us to answer." 01.04.23 Senator Dorgan turns over podium to Senator Trent Lott who then makes statements including "This is not a partisan thing, or a bi-partisan thing, this is not a slap at one commissioner or the commission as a whole, they just made a mistake here, and they are human beings too and I was very concerned at the beginning of how they handled this." 01.09.17 glitch on tape 01.09.30 POV from back of room at press conference next to video camera, cameraman filming.
