Why is the Obama Administration Putting Government Monitors in Newsrooms?
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:

Bigger question is why aren’t the communist libtard-supporting media scum turning against O-hole? They are either too stupid to see these actions for what they are or they know the only ones that will be impacted are more conservative news sources... for a while.

...he “FEARS”!? “Could be”?! Putz.
They’re not doing anything because they’re a bunch of whimpering metrosexuals and they’re scared!
Next up will be “minders” to go out with news crews to make sure the news is reported.....um.....accurately.
...cuz they can...
Why bother? The LSM will carry the water anyway.
So they can advise neworks like FOX to spend less time beating up on Obamacare, and tell people more about a real threat like Global Warming and Climate Change, and the dangers from coal and oil fired energy. - Tom

They are part of the communist plan to take over the country. Remember, take over the media, the schools,....I imagine there are some media who followed the crowd left, but now are asking themselves, what have i done?
Because he is their dictator and they value politics over country and freedom.
A can of black spray paint fixes the cameras and a strategically placed oscillating fan fixes the microphones.
Don’t worry... Obama’s just gett’in ready for 2016 when he decides NOT to step down as prez and to become el presidente for life. If you like your president you can keep your president (even if you don’t like).
I have long feared that Obama may tear up the Constitution and declare himself dictator. Being able to control the media is a first step toward totalitarianism closely followed by disarming the population.
I don’t like this latest move at all. Its blatant and I think it deserves n ven more blatant response. Certainly the media is not going to cow own to someone that wants to slap cuffs on THEIR wrists. If they agree to it they’re insane.
Because the American MSM "reporters" and "editors" requested them.
Let’s see if the media even say anything.
Why am I having a difficult in finding the list of eight categories?
Ummm ... going out on a limb here .. but ... to see what they’re up to and keep tabs on them ?
