The Obama Administration’s Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is poised to place government monitors in newsrooms across the country in an absurdly draconian attempt to intimidate and control the media.
Before you dismiss this assertion as utterly preposterous (we all know how that turned out when the Tea Party complained that it was being targeted by the IRS), this bombshell of an accusation comes from an actual FCC Commissioner.
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai reveals a brand new Obama Administration program that he fears could be used in “pressuring media organizations into covering certain stories.”
As Commissioner Pai explains in the Wall Street Journal:
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.
The purpose of the CIN, according to the FCC, is to ferret out information from television and radio broadcasters about "the process by which stories are selected" and how often stations cover "critical information needs," along with "perceived station bias" and "perceived responsiveness to underserved populations."
In fact, the FCC is now expanding the bounds of regulatory powers to include newspapers, which it has absolutely no authority over, in its new government monitoring program.

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY $OCIALI$M

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
In a sane world which understood freedom, whoever proposes this in the FCC would be out on the street and ridiculed for the destructive proposal.
Since when does Obama give a rat’s a$$ about the Bill of Rights or the Constitution?
It’s important to control the press if you want the thugocracy to succeed
What is obama worried about? The media already does his bidding.

Government monitors in newsrooms? Give me a break. “Newsrooms” need the gold medal for sustaining propaganda.
I am sure Obama knows much more about communism/nazism history than he does American history.
Words cannot describe my hate for the man.
I guess rolling over is certainly easier.
This latest government overreach is brought to you by Obama Voters, those people who ensured the re-election of the worst president in U.S. history. Thanks, Obama Voters!
PING!
This is very serious. Every day since he has been president, there has been a take over of something and it's done by creating agencies and rules for that agency, keeping it under control of the executive division of government - Hussein Obama.
This has been so well planned since his first day in OUR house, it has to be a Saul Alinsky/Obama detailed plan.
There are over 300 million souls in this country and these two men, Alinsky/Obama, are destroying these souls by destroying the foundation of their lives - this country.
Where are the Benjamin Franklins, George Washingtons, John Adams, Thomas Jeffersons, John Jays, James Madisons, James Madisons, and Alexander Hamiltons - these men are considered the key founders of this country - do we not have any men of character like the founders who will stand up and stop this? Where is the revolutionary spirit - did it die with these men and every man who put his life on the line at that time?
I only see TWO men in the federal government who refuse to give in to this tyranny and that is Ted Cruz and Mike Hill. If there are others, they are not speaking up loudly enough.
If this Alinsky/Obama cancer cannot be stopped by those in government, we are going to have true revolution with blood spilled on the ground just as we did to gain independence from England.
Someone told me today not to buy a plant grow light because the feds think everyone who buys a grow light is using it to grow marijuana and they will come after you. I said, “Bovine scat, I will buy what I please and to hell with Obama and his henchmen."
Are any of you afraid to write your opinion on the net for fear of being rounded up by Obama’s henchmen? I am a prepper and Homeland Security thinks preppers may be domestic terrorists. Do I stop writing prepper articles for a website because I fear the goons at Homeland Security?
I have lived 80 years and never in my life did I have any reason to fear the government would jerk me up and imprison me due to my opinion or anything I wrote.
Live free and don't cower before this tyranny. I speak of men in government and men across this nation taking steps to stop this. I am a woman and in the past, a doctor checked the level of testosterone I had and the report showed I was at the top number of testosterone for women. I asked him if that meant I had balls, and he didn't get the joke. Well, men, consider me Joan of Arc or Michonne on “Walking Dead”, because I will be right there with you.
We must stop this tyranny and take back this country and that takes action - if our Representatives and Senators can't do it, then we will have to do it by physical action. I am totally pissed off that my country of over 300 million souls is letting this happen. I refuse to let it happen. How about you?
Post 96.
Yes, I meant Mike Lee - can a moderator change the name, please?
Thanks ilovesarah2012.
