Republican legislators, stop this Fed takeover of the newsrooms in it's tracks! They already control around 95% of Big Media. We are hedging toward 100% Pravda reporting! STOP BEING WIMPS!!


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Government; News/Current Events; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: fcc; freedomofpress; freedomofspeech; government; orwellian
This is the beginning of the end of ALL our freedoms. The Bill of Rights matters not at all, if this Admin is successful in bullying the ENTIRE media to bend to their will. I weep for what we have already lost.

Welcome to the party.

I’ve been ‘weeping for what we have already lost’ for the last 25+ years.

I foresee a vast resurgence in the use of mimeograph machines and carbon paper.

OBAMA’S TOTALITARIAN COMPULSION

Following on the steps of Castro and Maduro, Obama is tightening his grip on the press, not conformed controlling 95% of the media, Obama is pushing towards the control of the whole 100%.

According to the international group “Reporters Without Borders” Index of Press Freedom the U.S. ranked 46, falling 13 places from last year.

Great Britain ranks 33, France 39, and Germany 14. Eastern European countries that were once under Soviet domination do fairly well, as the Czech Republic is ranked 13 and Poland is ranked 19.

The top three countries are Finland, Netherlands and Norway.

This is the beginning of the end of ALL our freedoms.

The beginning of the end was in 1913 when they enacted the income tax and created the IRS.

That being said, we still have the 2nd Amendment. They can take my guns when I'm out of bullets!

Another wake-up call for the conservative conscience of America. If fedgov oozes into newsrooms, we are a giant stride closer to the socialist nightmare planned by the leftists and cultivated since the time of FDR.
It will be time for the most serious discussion of secession.

It would be the same news/opinions, but the government-connected sponsors would no longer have to pay for it.

The democratic party is now truly socialist.
