Universities in FCC Newsroom Probe Have Close Ties to Soros, Got $1.8M in Funding

The FCC may have suspended its invasion into American newsrooms, but the controversial "Critical Information Needs" study also has George Soros' fingerprints all over it.

While disturbing, this should come as no surprise since Soros' gave more than $52 million to media organizations from 2000-2010.

Two schools were working with FCC on the project, according to Byron York of The Washington Examiner. The University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy, were tasked by the FCC with coming up with criteria for what information is "critical" for Americans to have. The FCC study would have covered newspapers, websites, radio and television, according to The Washington Post.

Obama, Ayers, and the Annenberg Challenge Cover-Up

Barack Obama and the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers have worked closely together on education reform since 1995, and possibly since 1987. Obama has obfuscated and minimized this association in his public statements and on his website. Why the cover-up? We don’t know, since we aren’t sure what is being concealed.

Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools

Despite having authored two autobiographies, Barack Obama has never written about his most important executive experience. From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists.

These two universities were ‘chosen’ probably because of a couple of reasons: 1) their location and political environment, and 2) probably willing to make the ‘study’ result in conclusions consistent with the goals of the study in the first place.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy.

Ah yes, that word again. Rats since Woodie Wilson just love democracy and have done a masterful job of conning the American people. Who, after all, could possibly be against democracy? After 101 years of a democratic senate, and probably soon-to-be popularly elected President, future historians will write how Americans lost their way and willingly strolled into majoritarian tyranny.

The dumbing down of Americans is proceeding as designed. This must stop.

It's worthwhile reviewing the history of the FCC. It started in the early '30s because of the need to regulate radio frequencies. Before regulation, anyone could broadcast anything on any frequency at any power level. There were numerous instances of interferences and hogging of the airwaves. The FCC regulated that, and set aside certain radio frequency bands for such things as AM broadcasting, TV, emergency radios, amateur radio, marine communications, etc. Most would agree that this was a worthwhile endeavor.

As with any bureaucracy, they expanded their range. They became involved with breaking up of the broadcast networks and AT&T, and other phone company regulations. They participated in integrating multiple means of long distance services into local telephone company lines. Fewer agree that their involvement was beneficial. The "Fairness Doctrine" was decreed, which prevented such radio programming as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from broadcasting, until President Reagan eliminated it. Now they are striving to extend their grasp to the internet. Many Republicans are attempting to prevent this.

In my view, there is simply NO wording in their enabling legislation that allows them to become involved with news. This is a pipe dream of Obama and especially Holder to be able to control dissenting voices from being heard. The FCC is simply an available bureaucracy to insert there.

Whaddya know, 1.8 million is divisible by 30 (as in “pieces of silver”).
