    Oh, shocking. The Justice Department suddenly discovers antitrust law when five networks decline to play along with a president’s petty pool purge. Where was this vigor for the last decade of actual monopolies? Convenient timing. Consequences only exist downward, apparently. Wake me when the subpoenas point somewhere uncomfortable.
