Similar critics were warning of Obamacare 3 years ago, and we find out many of them were right.
The Administration has a history of poor credibility. Why should we believe them on this issue?
Yeah right... we are over reacting...so disgusting.
Good one John.
“the typical overreactions of those who are out-of-step with President Obama’s agenda for transforming this country.”
Thug.
Her a sick man.
My mommy use to decide what I hear and saw...
I smell an eventual attempt to once again shut down talk radio with the equal time crap that the commies want to use to shut down conservative radio. That is the ONLY area where the conservative voice can be heard. TV is gone. The Internet and radio are our only avenues to getting the truth in and out. The Fairness Doctrine garbage is their avenue to shut it all down.
Yer a sick man.

Another great one, John. Thanks.
But the problem is, I think, that the Big Brother news monitors have already infiltrated the positions of power in the newsrooms over the past century.
Driving to and from work and running errands during my lunch break, [yes, I work - not on board with the whole Fundamental Transformation yet, I’m sad to say] I listen to conservative talk radio [only because, uh, I think it’s my patriotic duty to know what those domestic terrorists are up to, you see].
What’s on the news and other breaks during these conservative shows, you ask? I’ll do you the favor of skipping my well-honed rant on the pathetically Great Society PSAs insulting my sensibilities during program breaks, and just mention the trajectory of the actual “news” these days, be it ABC or Fox or whomever.
Almost every single lead story starts off with “The Administation . . . “ or “President Obama . . . “.
Lately, news about Ukraine dominates as the headline, but it goes like this: “President Obama has issued a statement today condemning the violence in KIev, and . . . .”
Alternatively, “The Administration has declared a state of emergency in several states along the Eastern seaboard due to the severe and prolonged winter weather.” This sort of “news” is then frequently embellished - for the sake of transparency, I suppose - to include vital info about number of inches of snowfall in (center of the universe) Washington, DC.
Or, perhaps [my favorite three-step news maneuver], “At a press conference today, White House spokesman Jay Carney announced that President Obama is in meetings with key figures in the Administration to side-step Congressional gridlock regarding the proliferation of carbon pollution and the use of environmentally devastating fossil fuels.” Now that really IS news - if they hadn’t told me, I never would have guessed!
For variety, they may throw in the latest spectacular car accident somewhere, or lottery winner, or Olympic drama, or celebrity scandal or some such at the end . . . . “And that’s the news.”
Sig Heil!
Commission plan to send “researchers” into newsrooms in order to observe how stories are selected and reported.
The new KGB goes electric.
WAAAY outside their purview/jurisdiction... The original plan of the survey would also have taken the FCC out of its traditional purview of regulating supposedly scarce airwaves. Because the CIN sought to discover “underserved” consumers in a variety of “media ecologies,” the survey would have included not only broadcast media but newspapers, blogs, and online news.
Big Brother is watching.
>Apparently that's part of the semi-satire, but it is understated.
The new rule is: "Ask not what your government can do for you. Ask what you can do for your government. Or else. Capisce?"
When you read a satire and it all seems entirely believable/plausible. lol
har, har, har......
I almost copied and pasted it to a tweet.....LOL
