The Laurie Roth Show discusses an investigation into media blackmail and why some large cable networks do not discuss Obama and his (lack of) backgroud records.
The talk of the FCC renewing licenses every 2 years, down from 8, could be construed as a threat to ‘work with’ the status quo.
Sure. Of course. Why not. Now the only questions remaining are: which people and at what level in the corporate media were being blackmailed and what were they being blackmailed with -- sex tapes? dead prostitutes in car trunks? drug habits? bicurious relationships? funny business accounting? unpaid back taxes?
I think she means extortion, not blackmail. The threat of not having their licences renewed.
IF pubs ever take back this country, I insist they pass a law mandating all candidates for federal office have original birth certificates available for the the public to view, question,investigate, etc....
“what were they being blackmailed with — sex tapes? dead prostitutes in car trunks? drug habits? bicurious relationships? funny business accounting? unpaid back taxes? “
Why can’t we find out? These people can’t have all erased their pasts like Obama did. The sooner it’s out the better.
Are there ANY investigative reporters left????
if the were blackmailin’ media...they sure as heck is blackmailin’ congress....
I think she means extortion, not blackmail.
Bingo. It is absolutely critical to use correct definitions and intent when addressing the Left, which is itself so oppressively verbal and deceitful.
Well, you’ll notice Helen Thomas has disappeared for talking out against ‘the One’.
Hmmmmm.....
The media was being muzzled with the threat of something similar to the fairness doctrine. A threat to their licenses using the FCC. The name soros is mentioned and Fox.
“Are there ANY investigative reporters left????”
Nah, the closest we have is John Stossel. The rest are investigating conservatives like Palin.
OF COURSE their jobs are threatened...ALL of them: Hannity, O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, Geraldo, Glenn Beck, etc. Dobbs was the only one who either disregraded or missed the prohibition. Here’s a good article on Media manipulation.
