No that doesn’t sound like a headline from 1955 Pravda, not at all.

Amen to that! The media should be monitored by the public and criminal activity by the FBI.

Exactly, and remember the Congress giving Obama power to monitor the internet.

I’m sure the new rules will be applied across the board to critics, and especially Fox News....this is not good.

The DOJ *needs* to monitor the media...?

I have been censored ONE time at FR —at the beginning of BHO’s first term, when I asked if an African elected man had even ONE time gone on to NOT act as a despot, and I got just TWO good suggestions.

How is THIS behavior not that of an African despot?

WE ARE HEADED TO A BAD PLACE.

This will take censorship to a whole new level....violating our 1st Amendment rights, no doubt.

“Where the 2nd Amendment goes, the 1st Amendment swiftly follows.”

We are seeing it made plain to us, now.

I don’t understand why they need to monitor the MSM at all other than for management evaluations to ensure they are adhering to the party line.

Does this mean they will have to start kissing Obama and Holder’s ass three times a day instead of just two?

How about like everyone else? Newspapers, TV and the Internet.

Not good enough? Tough shite.

Oh come on, Eric. You’ve already got the reports from Ed Snowden that details your surveillance.
