FreePress is an organization run by avowed communists, one of whom is the spokeswoman for FCC chairman Genochowski (another leftist czar-like creature).

Look up FreePress on the internet and see what is there. Look for a column at www.newzeal.blogspot.com about it.

This is what Obama and Van Jones and Bill Ayres and Arne Duncan are up to. Welcome to “1984” a few years late.

I read all of the Public Media Platform stuff when it was being discussed last spring. I don’t remember seeing anything about taxing privately owned media, which in any event Congress, not CPB, would have to do. In which document or documents did you find that taxing plan?

Yeah, great. Their ratings are already in the gutter - the people are rising up against the government, so the government takes over the news will raise ratings?

News ain't $hit if no one watches/listens/reads it.

Nothing new anyway...all the National news services are already commie socialists and obama's stenographers.

November 2nd is only the beginning!

Once the dust settles, we can start looking forward to the 2012 elections, and finding conservative candidates to run for the next wave of patriot replacements as the old batch of career politicians.

And repeat the process every two years!

Servatius wrote it in her report. It’s about half-way down the column, which is rather lengthy.

Best,

That could be achievable IF they shut down all Cable News networks and the Internet. Not going to happen though...even with Government help. If tried, a revolution would result.

So... NPR is just another station and hopefully will go bankrupt after government de-funding. If that does not happen, then we can blame the Republicans - again! That will mean it’s Third Party time...

Having read that, I feel a little better. I don’t believe that will ever go anywhere in Congress, and their reward for trying to push it would be the complete de-funding of CPB. It is a plan only Algore could love.

It has been at least 15 years since I turned off Nauseating Public Radio.

So Vivian Schiller wants to be America’s version of Goebbels ! And shape NPR like the old TASS News Agency in the old Soviet Union. More appropriate name would be to take the T off of TASS ! I would love to run across this stupid broad and give tell her how I really feel about NPR and her grandiose plans.

Don’t just defund NPR, the TV channels and radio stations, cancel their licenses, bankrupt all shows that are partnerships with government.
Keep the government out the media. We have 500 channels now. We don’t need to subsidize media and/or news.

I agree. The piss-stream media and the Democrat party can kiss my butt.

The enemy is definitely from within and it wants total control. They hate anyone not like them and are only interested in spouting their propaganda.
