“Welcome to the newsroom, komrade...”
The left is pretty quiet about it so they apparently feel that the rules won’t apply to them.
There goes freedom of speech.
Not really. That's second, a very close second. But you want to know the truth? Every major repressive Regime of the modern era has begun with universal health care. That's the first thing Hitler did. That's partly how you get the media on your side. Is it championing issues all of them support. Then you go get total control over them. But health care is the first thing, because that is direct control, total control over everybody in your country.
I beleive gun control/confiscation comes first. The Regime has tried and failed on that account. The question is, "Will patriots use their 2a rights to overthrow tryanny?"
CNN, NPR and PBS are all on the government payroll, so they don’t NEED ObaMonitors.
NBC, MSNBC, CBS and ABCDisney are willing collaborators - they don’t NEED ObaMonitors.
We are watching Faux go hard Left in realtime. But the Leftists will demand that ObaMonitors be assigned to Faux, because they’re EEEEEEEVIL.
Heck, I thought the liberal news rooms already had fax machines with a direct link to the White House to get there stories.
This is dangerous to and the left needs to wake up. Everything the left feared about Bush is coming to fruition under Obama.
The Mainstream Media are Marxists and their ideology is their religion - PERIOD.
As long as the promotion of their religion into the Utopian Marxofascist state is achieved - they will applaud and excuse the use of ‘government overseers’ of the news and information.
The imposition of their political religion is all that matters. By diktat, fiat, force or coercion. Makes no difference how it is imposed, just that it is.
As they have written and said so many times in one form or another - we cannot be trusted with freedom or rights.
Freedom of speech, the press, assembly and redress are…. overrated next to their demand for government to provide everything and decide everything.
And don't forget the press: the FCC "proposal" includes the print media. How the FCC has any say over the print media is beyond me, but this is a naked power grab.
They (the Lefty's) know that this just a left-handed attempt to bring back the Fairness Doctrine and force any radio or TV show that leans Right to go Left or lose their license, so they know they're safe.
Watch things get even loonier as the zero king runs out of time for his administration to "fundamentally transform" Amerika into his version of a Muslim Soviet.
That is the best succinct description yet of the "Brave New Obama World" King Barry dreams of creating.
Well, this is how these kool aid cult leaders do it. People feel there is nothing wrong with it because they do not assume the guy has an agenda and he knows he will do things others will protest about. Obama is establishing a surveillance preempting his future outrageous moves. Not everyone would cooperate with drinking the poison ... he has to do something about it.
As far as I can tell, only Fox News is reporting this. Hmmmm....
The dog that didn't bark. How very curious that this was not news, was never news, didn't happen. Whose putative "suspension" came to us through Adweek, of all places. To the question "Would 0bama really place commissars in the newsrooms?" there is no apparent curiosity because like the Dog That Didn't Bark, the media are not only fine with it but were in on it from the beginning. These are, after all, people who dedicated themselves to marginalizing and then burying the use of the IRS against the Democrats' political opponents. Why not the FCC?
Should this story not sink to the bottom of the ocean as Benghazi did, we should shortly hear a media blitz spearheaded by Journ-o-list style coordination that the whole thing was a paranoid right-wing fantasy that never happened. Watch carefully who says this, for they are not our friends.
Time for another House Special Lawyer to Investigate Gestapo Media tactics by Soetoro-Obama, Garrett and Holder.
I'm actually starting to believe that this despicable regime isn't going away in 2016. The first thing you do in a coup d etat in seize the networks.
It sounds as if the simplest thing would be to abolish the FCC, since it’s unconstitutional to begin with. Since when does the Federal government own the air? Did they buy it from somebody?
