Pull the Plug on PBS!

Pray for America

[RC2]

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

[Ooh-Ah]

[papasmurf]

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.

[Eleutheria5]

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”.

[popdonnelly]

Who says Mr. Lloyd knows anything? He wrote a book, big deal.

[Kakaze]

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

[MGMSwordsman]

WTF is a chief diversity officer other than someone in charge of persecuting straight white males? This stuff will definately end in violence.

"FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting"

[CA_soon_gone]

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

[ab01]

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?

[SandRat]

NO! .. we want PBS shut down, permanently.

[NorwegianViking]

They want to get rid of conservative talk shows. This is ridiculous!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Statement: "...Lloyd presented the idea in his 2006 book, Prologue to a Farce.."

Response: Who wrote the book for him?

[olezip]

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?

[Republic]

Is he talking TV too? This sounds like COMMUNISM to me. Forcing independent businesses who WORK for their money to pay for folks who are gifted with government jobs to spew government propaganda.

SCREW THE CZARS !!

I WANT THEM OUT OF THERE NOW!!!!

GET THOSE FREAKS OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE NOW!!!!!

Our GOVERNMENT , our CONGRESS is the one that REGULATES PBS and NPR and THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD STAY.

WE ELECTED our CONGRESS

We did NOT elect these CREEPY CZARS!

GET THEM OUT OF THERE NOW.....THE TOWN HALLS SHOULD BE FEATURING THIS TAKEOVER BY UHBAMA JUST AS THEY ARE COVERING THE DEATH CARE DEBACLE.

[dr_who]

Republicans should go after this one like pit bulls chasing a cat with a T-bone steak tied to its tail.

[Sig Sauer P220]

When they pull the plug on the 1st Amendment, we’ll see why the 2nd Amendment was put into place.

[Tigerized]

Funny thing is that when the whole Public Broadcasting thing was created in 1948, one of the basic requirements was that any programing broadcast had to be politically neutral. Somewhere along the way, the Left hijacked “public” broadcasting and used it as their own propaganda vehicle, instead of the universally accessible medium it was intended to be.

And now, that’s no longer good enough. Now they want to shut down opposing perspectives through a new Czar! Man, they’re really spoiling for an uprising...

[dalereed]

eliminate public broadcasting and the problem is solved!
