AP and other sources are carrying a story that tells of a scare campaign
Jesse Helms (the infamous congresscritter from the Carolinas) and the
"Fairness in Media" folks are organizing.  They are threatening to
take over CBS network via stock acquisition, much in the manner
of Boone Pickens and the oil industry.    The question of adequate
finances as well as "popular" support arises.  


I really don't know anything about this scheme.  I do know that I don't like the 
idea even more than I don't like CBS.

Anyone know more facts?
