See Anything Wrong with This Headline?

Daily Caller headline: “Government Clears Amazon’s $13 Billion Purchase Of Whole Foods.” Gems from the article:

“The government has cleared the way for Amazon to purchase Whole Foods.”

“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said in a Wednesday statement that the deal would not violate antitrust laws or result in creation of an anticompetitive market.”

“Of course, the FTC always has the ability to investigate anticompetitive conduct should such action be warranted.”

Why does the government have to clear one company purchasing another? I thought we had a free market in America?
