Notice how conscious they are about crafting a "diversity" policy which will slip through the loopholes in the courts' opposition to quotas and such affirmative action efforts.
Oh, please! Diversity in color has been here and done that...We don’t want his type of diversity in promoting communism...
Prepare for Democrat cronyism, assaults on the first amendment and major parts of the economy the likes of which no one has ever seen.
Everything this administration wants to do will be one more feather plucked from the eagle that laid the golden eggs...until she dies.
Is it any wonder there is a literal run on gun and ammo shops all across the fruited plain??
Diversity is a word that means different things. Does he mean diversity on the public airwaves? Diversity as in the fairness doctrine, which will attempt to have liberal equal time?????
Do the Democrats/liberals/radicals care that Air America couldn’t compete on talk radio?
Air America was formed in 2004 with the express purpose of defeating George W. Bush for re-election. They hoped to create popular shows and make their liberal hosts as popular as Rush and Sean Hannity.
If it didn’t work, if the free market didn’t support Air America programming, why should it have to be subsidized by the gov’t?????
Is anyone going to listen to Air America if they force equal time for liberal shows? What are the Arbitron ratings for NPR radio stations in most cities, compared to the conservative talk stations??????
They are going to use the FCC to attack the remaining bits of the media that won’t toe the party line and protect allies from competition. Forget about innovation. This is a power play.
Great news! Rush Limbaugh to be replaced by the Rev Jeremiah Wright! OOOaahh! Not God bless America, God D@#% America!! Ain’t we got fun?

What do you all think people like Franken will be doing if he doesn’t steal the senatorial election?
who will be the federally orderd counter to Oprah?
what will be the federally ordered counter to CNN, FNC, MSNBC?
Barf!...Don’t stare into that for too long.
Of course!
That’s a puzzler - how do we sell things only to “people of color” and not be called “racists”? Hm...
Oh I know - how about we install a bunch of left wing activist judges who’ll let us do anything we want? :D
End result - 10 Rap/HipHop AM stations per market.
Command and control economy. The sheeple have bought into
this crap.
my eyes are bleeding
“.....”socially and economically disadvantaged businesses” (SDB) classification, in which minority-led “eligible entities” would receive various preferences and breaks during media sales and spectrum auctions, among other transactions.”
The excerpt above along with more in the article lead me to believe that there is to become some auctionable communications entities during Obama’s tenure as President.
Suggests to me the targeted demise of Conservative talk radio, and Affirmative Actioneers to become the beneficiaries of Obama mandated Auctioneers.
This was the guy who kept the “Fairness Doctrine” in place until he was replaced with a new commissioner by President Reagan.
Rivera is a hardcore partisan who will fight to re-establish the “fairness doctrine.”
