"Public value"

I saw an excerpt from an interview where he expanded on this topic, and it sounds like "public value" means "working with the community" (e.g., liberal activist groups) in order to insure that the community's "needs" are being met. The FCC will also undoubtedly invoke "diversity" as a criteria that needs to be met, which will also mean cow-towing to liberal interest groups and minority groups. In short, they will give these liberal organizations some sort of censorship role, or require that stations carry programming that these groups insist on and approve of.

[a fool in paradise]

The FCC already has a “local community” programming requirement.

When he decries the state of JOURNALISM, there is no journalist requirement from our media (does the classic rock or country station HAVE to cover news?).

He is attacking those who would attack Obamabi, the boy king.
