Mark Lloyd is another of Obama's Czar's, one of the people he keeps around as an advisor, and confidant. Lloyd is the Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer at the FCC.

Here is what the FCC website has to say about him:

Mr. Lloyd was most recently the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights/ Education Fund, where he oversaw media and telecom initiatives.

Previously Mr. Lloyd has been a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, the General Counsel of the Benton Foundation, and an attorney at Dow, Lohnes & Albertson. Before becoming a communications lawyer, Mr. Lloyd had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist, including work at NBC and CNN.

In 2006, Mark Lloyd wrote a book entitled "Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America." In the book, he made a policy suggestion similar to what he wrote in his report "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio." The suggestion?

Like Van Jones, Mark Lloyd is a charming, literate, easy speaker—and a complete loon. My favorite Lloyd position is his idea that public broadcasting should contribute 100% of its operating budget as a tax (note: Not profit, budget!) to the government to support public broadcasting.

I saw the video of him extolling Chavez’ “incredible revolution” and commenting on how Chavez had to control the press to prevent a counter-revolution against his authority.

This guy is a major Red & Black nut. I’m not sure how much power he has as the FCC “Diversity Czar”, but he should not be part of the top advisory team in OUR Executive Branch.
