I would not even bother to listen to any news that’s been “vetted” by a low-IQ marshmallow major gubmit dork.
Of course, the current news has already been “vetted” by a low-IQ marshmallow major MSM dork.
So, perhaps, there’s no real change, eh?
Thankfully, there’s the internet...and no what the gubmit does, we geeks have ways to get around them.
He does not like anything about our Constitution, so that fits.
Gee, ya think?
Here is a WSJ article written by Ajit Pai, a commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission :
The FCC Wades Into the Newsroom.
Why is the agency studying ‘perceived station bias’ and asking about coverage choices?

“But everyone should agree on this: The government has no place pressuring media organizations into covering certain stories.
Unfortunately, the Federal Communications Commission, where I am a commissioner, does not agree. Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs,” or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run. A field test in Columbia, S.C., is scheduled to begin this spring. “
I would strongly opine, that “yes” they are in the process, right now.
Fox seems to be the only free and opposing media outlet.
It will be very instructive, how they behave and how the Obama administration continues.
The government has no voice in the media.
None.
This is how sin destroys.
News today is garbage and gossip.
In theory, people should be better informed.
It’s a low information country.
So somehow this might “ make sense” to some people.
“Is Obama trying to kill a free press?”
Kill?
Why?
They are already Liberal eunichs!
"Monitors"? Isn't the traditional job title "zampolit"?
In a word, yes. Next question?
Yes, but it's gonna be difficult as the only free press is in Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe and Asia.
Well duh.
He's a communist, isn't he?
He wants gulags, too.
Why ask a rhetorical question?
Why would he need to do that?
98% of them would literally fellate him in public if he asked them to.
He is simply trying to do to the media what he has already done to the healthcare system.
is obama trying to kill the 5% of the press that isn’t living in his colon?
Ukraine - coming to a city near you.
The current mass media has been in love with Obama since 2006.
Now that some of them are finally seeing him for what he is, was & always will be, they are trying to censure what we get from the media.
Most of us have already put the media into the category of ‘we don’t trust you’.
Now, Obama wants to silence even the tripe we do get from the alphabet channels.
“Is Obama trying to kill a free press?”
The premise of the question is absurd as it assumes a free press is alive.
What’s the plan when one shows up, Jim?
