“concerned with the appointment due to Lloyd’s writings on political talk radio and the Fairness Doctrine.”

...we should all be a little more than “concerned”! This country is being taken over at a rapid pace. We need a huge turn out at the 9/12 Tea Party in DC!

[a fool in paradise]

Why not just erect another Czar post?

[screaminsunshine]

What is a chief diversity officer?

[incredulous joe]

I know that BO thinks that he is special, he creates new posts and appointments with the wave of his girly hand.

But how can he simply create such a position out of thin air, particularly when it is such BS to begin with.

How is this guy getting his 100k a year to be a Czar? Doesn’t the legislature have any say in the matter? Is this Constitutional (I know bear with me,...)?

Barry tries to tank yet another branch of the economy ~ broadcast radio.

Chief Diversity Officer

Remember the hunt for Red October and USSR had a political officer on every military ship and every business........................

We’ve become them.

[dianed]

“Lloyd is virulently anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, almost myopically racially fixated and exuberantly pro-regulation.”

That pretty much describes every person Obama has appointed to office(or ever associated with in his life!).

[manc]

talk radio, Ann, Laura, Savage, Rush, then TV news like fox but more so Beck, Hannity.

The left hates free speech, they hate facts and they most certainly hate the public getting to know their agenda and their radical views.

[kara2008]

Lloyd is virulently anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, almost myopically racially fixated and exuberantly pro-regulation.

Lloyd has in his past written a road map for how liberal activists should use the FCC to threaten the licenses of stations with whom they do not agree politically.

This appointment is beyond infuriating. Goodbye Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingram, Beck. Goodbye talk radio. Goodbye free speech. Goodbye America. Welcome to the fascist USSA

[Canedawg]

The Great One mentioned this crapola appointment on his show the day after it was announced.

[Marty62]

Is his job anything like this one:

Whips Crowd into frenzy.
Berlin, March 31st (1933) (AP)——Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, the MINISTER OF POPULAR ENLIGHTENMENT AND PROPAGANDA,(emphasis mine) preceeded his reading of the government boycott manifesto to the packed National Socialist meeting here today by a declaration of Nazi antipathy toward Jews. He whipped the crowd into a frenzy, and there were scattered shouts of “Hang them”
.................................
It sure makes it easy when Zero and his minions are so transparent. Replace Jews with the term Conservs, or tea baggers or VRWC radio and there you have it.

[Ooh-Ah]

FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer--New Czar wants Private Broadcasters...to Fund Public Broadcasting

[Ben Mugged]

I can almost guarantee that if the “Fairness Doctrine” rears it’s ugly head that the number of Pirate radio stations will increase. Radio Free America in reverse.

[BP2]

FYI, guys:

THIS is gag that Lord Obama quietly threatened on Fox News, Rush, Hannity, Glenn and ALL of Conservative talk radio immediately after the election.

This is a way to infringe on the First Amendment rights of Freedom of the Press, as well as Free Speech. And we cannot allow it!

[CedarDave]

Is this how Hugo Chavez started followed by outright takeover of private radio stations??

[bareford101]

obamanation STRIKES AT AMERICA again!!
“We have repeatedly explained that Lloyd is virulently anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, almost myopically racially fixated and exuberantly pro-regulation.

Lloyd has in his past written a road map for how liberal activists should use the FCC to threaten the licenses of stations with whom they do not agree politically. He seeks to impose an annual FCC license fee equal to each station’s annual gross operating budget, with the money going to public broadcasting stations with whom the private stations then have to compete.

That he now works at the FCC where he can put his ridiculous policy proposals into place is more than a little disconcerting. “

This is more treason of the American People who have a right of FREE SPEECH. Pure and Simple HATRED for America pours from Obamanation’s appointees... ALL OF THEM..

[Pan_Yan]

Like the esteemed Reverend Wright said, “It’s not the USA, it’s the US of NAACP -A!”

Or something like that.

I would feel much better if I saw a letter coming from Grassley to Harry Reid asking when they were going to pass a bill eliminating all Czars and reinstating their oversight duties to the country.

[kevinm13]

They will change the name but the idea is the same. Shut down opposition in the media. That means talk radio because most of the rest of the media is lefty liberal nuts.

This is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Talk radio should be allowed to exist next to all the liberal media outlets supported by Dems — NBC, CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC.

Diversity my large rear end. This is about shutting down the truth.

[cashless]

OK. Let me get this straight. This man wants to shut down talk radio because we choose to listen to it as opposed to changing the station or turning it off which is exactly what he and others of his ilk can do if there is something they don't like. It's called freedom and evidently this person doesn't like it that many Americans have and exercise their freedoms. Reality (something liberals seem to have a hard time grasping) is that if there is enough financial incentive and support for liberal talk radio, Air(head) America would be on thousands of stations. Even the local nebulous FM 101 Talk radio (leans left to say the least and is absolutely anti-conservative), is there for all the liberals to tune in to. I listen and when they offend my conservative values, I turn them off. Seems far more sensible than punishing broadcasters who have a product that an audience wants. So if we are strictly talking about diversity, this one FM station covers the roughly the same geography as the main 2 AM stations that carry Rush, Sean, Levin and that uber-radical Dave Ramsay. These liberals have no shame. If they every give us crap about freedom of speech, at least we can say, “We listen to you and let you speak. Too bad you can't say the same thing”
