...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?

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.

The rest of the media is happy to serve as megaphones for the White House and DNC talking points without any pressure. The only one they need to intimidate is Fox News, which is already bending over backwards to try to show that they are even-handed.

Maybe the real goal is the racial one--they want the newscasts to be 50% geared to African-American issues and interests. That wouldn't be a situation that "looks like America," one of their favorite slogans, but it would be more in line with TV commercials. The FCC could presumably take licenses away from stations that fail to meet the right quota of minority content.

FCC letter: identify and eliminate "market entry barriers . . . promote . . . diversity"

To the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and the ideological issue of same "diversity" means no conservative opinions allowed. Period!

Sounds like czar and fetters to me.
