Here’s a bit more from Mark LLoyd - diversity czar at the FCC, who’s drafting new regulations to basically end talk radio.

He’s opposed to private ownership of media - a fan of Chavez who holds up as a model the type of press control and harassement that Chavez is implementing in Venezuala. Here’s a quote from his book “Prologue to a Farce” -”It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration, Harold Innis may have been only slightly exaggerating when he wrote, “Freedom of the press has become the great bulwark of monopolies of the pressAt the very least blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communication policies.”

HE HAS GOT TO BE THE NEXT TO GO!!

I agree. tho Van Jones had the most controversial past, Mark Lloyd and Cass Sustein wield more power than Jones did. Mark Lloyd seems to love Chavez and approves of his his taking over of the media.
