I understand we have 44 Czars now. Maybe they are trying to get more numbers than Congress.

That’s just insane. Laughably insane, at that.
I didn’t know we had that many cracks in the woodwork for these idiots to come out of.

Time to scream bloody murder. Now we’re going to have a Ministry of Truth, with a monopoly on all communication. That’ll stop Rush Limbaugh from spreading “misinformation”.

You can take “Public” out of broadcasting if having liberals in broadcasting is the objective. Private corporations have already accomplished that.

Along with this money, Lloyd would regulate much of the programming on these stations to make sure they focused on diverse views and government activities.Thank god someone will regulate the truth /s

WTF is a chief diversity officer other than someone in charge of persecuting straight white males? This stuff will definately end in violence.
To: Kakaze
All those “diverse views” will be decidedly uniform.

So if every private station pays 100% tax equal to its operating expense and all of that money goes to public stations doesn’t that mean there will be an equal number of public and private stations? Of course if private stations are taxed at that level they’ll all go out of business so the dial will be blank. Private = public = 0
To: Ooh-Ah
I don’t remember having the opportunity to vote for this guy..or any of these “czars” for that matter. If obama the magnificent wants these decisions, then he owns them, he is responsible for them, not some petty political flunky. Doesn’t congress realize that the use of these “czars” is a massive transfer of power from the legislative to the executive?

We already have a local public access channel that features Farrakhan, the ACLU, 9/11 “truthers,” local music, Hispanic shows, Hawaiian shows, gay shows, “Democracy Now!”, religious shows, Islamic shows, etc. And we have stations run by local government showing public hearings, etc. The University of Washington has a station. There are one or two Hispanic channels on cable. There’s plenty of diversity. What this guy wants to do is target conserative views. So, once again, Obama is lyign when he says he opposes the fairness doctrine. He wants to re-introduce it by subterfuge, under the Orwellian principle of “diversity.”

Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.This demented man has a twisted and warped mind. The administration already has a government outlet for their propaganda via the MSM. They want more?

I’d rather see PBS DIE of its OWN WEIGHT...after it gets WORSE RATINGS than MSNBC or (MSLSD).
