Obama deciding on which news sources allowed for Americans
Examiner ^ | February 19, 2014 | Martha

Posted on 02/20/2014 1:41:10 PM PST by usalady

If you like your radio talk show don’t be surprised if you can’t keep it. Obama’s Federal Communication Commission wants to place monitors in news rooms to decide which stories are selected, station priorities, content production, population served, perceived station bias and perceived percent of news dedicated to each of the “critical information” needs of a community.

This kind of post is against Free Republic’s rules of conduct.

I can only assume you are talking about your own post at the top of the thread.

Our Bloggers Forum ( http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/bloggers-forum/index ) is open to all liberty-loving bloggers to post their great work to FR. But our readers are mostly interested in reading relevant posts in their entirety on FR without having to click to an unknown outside website where who knows what kind of cookies or tracking devices may await them. And they appreciate it very much when the blog authors join in on the ensuing conversation and become one of us.

Update - Latest news is that there is some backing down coming from the FCC. It is saying that it is “voluntary” now that it is attracting attention.

Latest count is over 67,000 signers on the petition and some congressmen are speaking out against it apparently having received phone calls. Lots more work to be done to shine light on this infringement of the free press.

Stay tuned.

++++
If any Conservatives are amoung the signers and callers of this ‘infringement of the free press’, should have their heads examined.

The ‘free press’ have aided and abetted democrats and far left for decades.

The site is included in the article.

So why haven't you posted the link to it HERE?

This post is just for those who cherish their freedom and want to join others who are still trying to keep America a free country.

So basically to "keep America a free country" we must pay you a blog hit?

You kind of suck, Martha.

Oh crap! I never considered anything like that.
First time for everything, I guess.

I don’t think any blog-pimp is going to succeed, but I love watching them try.

“You’re goin’ against the forum rules by talking mean to me, Mr. Humblegunner, and it’s taking all my strength, patience and goodwill to keep from turning you in! You’re lucky I’m such a great person!”

I love those posts.

This kind of post is against Free Republic’s rules of conduct. It could lead to you being banned. I suggest you read the rules before posting derogatory and inflammatory posts.

Thanks anyway Martha but would it be ok with you if we could enforce FR rules and decides who gets banned?
