I hear Belize is nice...then again Russia is making some strides towards conservative Christian values...might be too soon to decide on that one though...
Enjoy
Bye Bye Free Press...which is why I don't watch any of the news services...they have ALL been infiltrated!
“Government Researcher” = Political Commissar.
Just deny access to the monitor until they can present a search warrant, photo ID, and their verifiable qualifying credentials. Sure they may shut you down but then you have standing for the big court battle.
Critical Information Needs study>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We have seen enough of how Obama works to know what will happen.This study is basically an intel operation. Nothing will be said about the political correctness standard in the beginning. These researchers ( spies) will simply tale the names and address and Social security information of each jopurnalist, technician and news administrator, editors who do not manifest the proper degree of political correctness in their reprting, and shortly thereafter the IRS audits will begin.
Any news organization consentiong to this study will not be worth listening to, and in fact will become a simple propaganda outlet for the Obama fascist campaign.
Talk about a “chill” on free speech? You betcha. A genuine “Goebels” move.
This is typical fascism. Remember. Many of us were warning everyone in 2008, including this article:
Barak Obama: The Quintessential Fascist:

Actually, this is a relatively easy affair to handle.
On day one as they arrive to monitor your news organization...you note that the top story will be developed today...life on the Detroit streets. So they need to travel with the crew into the heart of Detroit....meet some thugs...get offered some crack...and feel fear at every turn.
On day two, you state the top story is press freedom in the Ukraine, so you fly them in...let them feel stress and pressure of survival as the crew reports from the battle lines of a civil war.
On day three, you drag them off to a lobbyist sting where the guy admits that he pays off Senators, Representatives and FCC board members. By this point....the monitor gal is beginning to question her purpose in life.
On day four, you interview some crippled-up ex-Army guy who isn’t getting any support from anyone and tells a four-star weeper epic of his life and sorrows.
On day five, you take the monitor gal to the company HQ’s that she works for (Social Solutions International). It’s a minority owned (Hispanic) and woman owned....so they get contracts ahead of most others. The PhD head? Susanna Nemes.
So the news team starts to analyze the monitor’s own company, their contacts with government organizations, which is the only way to get better paying contracts, and their business plan. Critical reports....mean more business. So the news organization then pulls out a ethics package and starts to ask questions of the monitor.
The game ends at that point. Reset to zero. Everyone starts to remark about the weather, the chances of the Yankees this season, and if Hulk will win over the Undertaker. Simple enough?
Political Correctness taken up a couple of notches. There shall soon be nothing like “public opinion” or “on the street”, that has not been first thoroughly massaged and managed to include only a very narrow range of discussion, with the remainder subject to severe penalties, up to and including “re-education” camps, or when that fails, a “final solution” that includes “showers” and furnaces running at maximum capacity day and night.
But considering the probably abject state of agricultural production and food distribution by then, perhaps there may be a “Soylent Green” industry put into place.
A widespread balkanization of the territory once known as “the United States of America” may not be all that unthinkable much longer. That nation was once rent by an issue much less pressing, and only patched back together by some rather draconian measures, leaving scars that did not heal for a hundred years.
After all, we have the example of Egypt, Syria, the Ukraine, Venezuela, and the Central African Republic already in progress. And the Current Regime has not put troops in a single one of these places.
Do not give up the Posse Comitatus Act just yet. Although this Current Regime is considered lawless, they cannot possibly break all the laws. There are so many, there just is not enough time.
If anything could be counted on to unify everything from Fox to the leftiest alphabet agency, it would be this. That is, to unify them against this administration.
God is foxier than Satan. This could be something that provokes America right at a virtue it treasures... to say what you want, even if it isn’t blessed by some official. Soft control, like letting news agencies into the White House for interviews only if they toe a line, can have some influence. Hard control, like this... well my humble prognostication is that it shall backfire. Bigtime.
By agency, I mean news agency of course.
Can you imagine how this would have gone over in Thomas Paine’s day?
Some nattering gubmint flunky telling him he had to say something nice about King George.
.....Fascists sought to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that promoted the mass mobilization of the national community[5][6] and were characterized by having a vanguard party that initiated a revolutionary political movement aiming to reorganize the nation along principles according to fascist ideology.[7] Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation[5][8][9][10] and asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations.[11] Fascist ideology consistently invokes the glorification of the state. Leaders such as Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany embodied the state and claimed indisputable power. Fascism borrowed theories and terminology from socialism but replaced socialism's focus on class conflict with a focus on conflict between nations and races.[12] Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky to secure national self-sufficiency and independence through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.[13]
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
“The study identified eight “critical needs”: information about emergencies and risks; health and welfare; education; transportation; economic opportunities; the environment; civic information; and political information.
It’s not difficult to see those topics quickly becoming vehicles for political intimidation. In fact, it’s difficult to imagine that they wouldn’t. For example, might the FCC standards that journalists must meet on the environment look something like the Obama administration’s environmental agenda? Might standards on economic opportunity resemble the president’s inequality agenda? The same could hold true for the categories of health and welfare and “civic information” — and pretty much everything else.
“An enterprising regulator could run wild with a lot of these topics,” says Pai. “The implicit message to the newsroom is they need to start covering these eight categories in a certain way or otherwise the FCC will go after them.”
The FCC awarded a contract for the study to a Maryland-based company called Social Solutions International. In April 2013, Social Solutions presented a proposal outlining a process by which contractors hired by the FCC would interview news editors, reporters, executives and other journalists.”
Social Solutions International?
Where are our GOP representatives screaming bloody murder!
I’m somewhat confused as to why Obama feels the need to monitor news outlets......unless the news outlets in question are straying from the official Media Matters bylines.
On yesterday’s Rush show he said (paraphrased closely) “there are no journalists anymore, they’re just DemocRATS that are assigned to work there”.
Sounds more like they are gathering information to use to promote some future initiate or bill.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Can’t actually make the media more sycophantic - just a cushy jobs program for obummer minions.

Fortunately, the American people actually turned away from American Idol and Dancing with the Stars long enough to be angry about having gubmint news monitors, it appears. The FCC has walked back its “research project.”
