How about the FCC start enforcing the rules regarding ethics in broadcast news? Those pesky rules regarding bias and slanting of news coverage which are on the FCC’s own webpage. Republicans should push for a rule change requiring all public broadcasters create ethics policies regarding news coverage, make them available to the public, and have all broadcast news perso ell and reporters take ethics in journalism training classes. Those who don’t comply should have their broadcast license revoked.

If a naked titty shown on public television results in a fine for indecency, why are lies and bias allowed? Why is Nightline news allowed to run totally bias programs that are heavily slanted and don’t conform to journalistic ethics standards?

Tired of the slant and bias in the news? It’s time to act. Public broadcasters operate on behalf of the public they are supposed to serve. Bias interferes with that duty and constitutes a violation of FCC rules. The FCC, whether you like it or not, is supposed to serve as a watchdog over the public communication space. It’s time they start doing their job and stop operating on behalf of interests that don’t represent the public good.

Just shut the FEC down. The entire effort is a direct violation of the first amendment.

“Dems on FEC open to new regs on donors, Internet”....

Claiming that thousands of public comments condemning “dark money” in politics can’t be ignored, the Democrat-chaired Federal Election Commission on Wednesday appeared ready to open the door to new regulations on donors, bloggers and others who use the Internet to influence policy and campaigns.

no mention of George SOROS or any of his funded network of propaganda
