We have written often about Mark Lloyd, who has since his July 29 appointment been reveling in the position created just for him, “Chief Diversity Officer” at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
What Mark Lloyd says about Chavez is more than a mite frightening:
“In Venezuela, with Chavez, is really an incredible revolution - a democratic revolution. To begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela.
“The property owners and the folks who then controlled the media in Venezuela rebelled - worked, frankly, with folks here in the U.S. government - worked to oust him. But he came back with another revolution, and then Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country.
“And we’ve had complaints about this ever since.”
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!!
