...FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said the agency "has no intention of regulating political or other speech of journalists or broadcasters." It's not like the feral government always says the opposite of what it means or anything.

No coverage of this by the msm. It’s all for the cause, so they’ll allow it. I don’t have words for how vile the msm has become.

What did Boehner say at his Presser on this latest Gestapo action by the FCC?
Will Speaker Boehner now FINALLY begin Impeachment Proceedings on Soetoro-Obama?
If the buck doesn’t stop at Obama’s empty chair, then who is in charge at the White House?

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.

To: Dqban22
Yup.
Also recall news agencies submitting news stories to the white house for review before publishing them?
That came out, there was some outrage, and then they rushed to sweep it under the rug.

govt just can’t stay out of private businesses. now there will be a party officer there.
why do they get to know the behind-the-scenes reasons for how a newsroom operates? what the hell business is it of theirs? i doubt they will keep their mouth shut about what they find out unless it’s beneficial for them to be quiet.
i mean what could possibly go wrong under this scenario?

There is no doubt the MSM loves the idea. Nothing will change the way the communists MSM views the news and is in lockstep with the communists empire of King Obama.
