New law 'allows Obama to take over all media'
World Net Daily ^ | July 18, 2013 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 07/18/2013 5:44:48 PM PDT by scripter

An online radio host is sounding the alarm over a brand-new law he claims grants the federal government massive new powers to saturate Americans with domestic propaganda at U.S. taxpayer expense.

“This law allows the federal government to have sweeping power to push television, radio, newspaper and social-media propaganda onto the U.S. public,” warns Michael Evans of America’s Voice Now.

“It removes protection for Americans from the ideological diarrhea that will pour forth from this administration like ejected vomit.”

Evans is referring to the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, and Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., which was inserted into the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.

People who believe this sort of spin buy lots of supermarket tabloids.

I thought something similar at first. Then remembered seeing some advertisements or commercials coming up for Obamacare and thought maybe there’s more to it.

Try driving through flyover country. The amount of conservative radio is nonexistent in a large number of states. Currently in AR, and zero conservative talk radio on the AM dial.
Lots of stupid sports crap, and a station that plays nothing but “don’t litter” commercials.
Talk about a zero information zone, AR is a void zone!

I didn’t want to vote for Romney but I did simply because of Obama. The importance of the last election is becoming more evident everyday.

Why does he need to take over the media?

So you don’t believe that BO would do that? You give him way too much credit.

We know the hidden things in the Obamacare bill, the stimulus, the Patriot Act, amnesty, and so many other bills. How do you know something to this effect isn’t hidden in there?

I felt the same way. I didn't like Romney and I was extremely sorry to have to vote for him...... but I did!
As liberal as Romney was he would have been better than this piece of slime we have now, taking millions of dollars worth of trips while our country circles the drain.

I am not convinced that obozo won fair and square, I think there was a lot of cheating going on.

Obemba will never have to put the law to use. The media are already in his pocket.

We definitely know there were some election issues as some have admitted to voting more than once. Plus some districts were 100% for Obama or there were more than 100% of registered voters voting (not sure how that happens if they’re marking off voters when they hit the polls).

Th author is talking about more than what we’re currently seeing from the media today. When I was reading about commercials for Obamacare it really hit me.

If this were true, other than Fox News, how would anyone see the difference!
