The crackdown on conservative-talk radio begins with an FCC probe into the new rating system that Obama says the ethnic minorities will be less willing to wear the PPM rating device than whites.

So which part of that statement is the racist part? Methinks it is 0bama's part...
Racism has come full circle in America... It is blacks who are racist; and anyone who doesn’t understand this hasn’t been paying attention.
Who are we to doubt them?
AMEN BROTHER/SISTER!

"While the new PPM data does not recognize a radio stations’ brand loyalty like the old one did, “that effective emission in PPM,” he said sparks a new concern that PPM “could be more accurate and too accurate.” That, in turn, sparks an admission of inaccuracy in the diary process."
It's not that the ratings system is racist. That's the cover story similar to the old "it's for the children!!" The problem for the Administration is that it's harder to cheat with the new system. It's "too accurate." It's the same motivation behind the Dems insisting we should not require ID at polling places. That would make their tradition of voter fraud harder.
Where is the federal probe into newspapers that artificially inflated their circulation figures to keep their ad rates artificially high and like to consumers?
sly bass turds aren’t they.
yes.
Just wondering if race has anything to do with which dealerships closed and who will get the dealerships?

Obama takes Steps to Curb free speech Influence.
not really a new story, libs have been screaming about PPM for years (after they began to show that EVEN MORE PEOPLE listen to Conservative talk radio than was shown under the old ratings system)
....and I have to ask....if they’ll wear a piece, an iPod, and fifty pounds of bling....whose to say they won’t wear a PPM?
