They should be scared.

They should have been scared last year when Obama was talking about all of this, but not in a position to implement it.

I guess their love for Obama is coming back to bite them.

Fold to fall in line with Obama? The only way i see beating this will be people just cancelling cable and Sat TV. The Washington Post owns the paper NewsWeak and TV stations. I think the TV is keeping them afloat. 10 million Republican voters cancelling their TV service?

Hmm...the networks, ad agencies (big money), corporations on and on who are in this giant industry will suffer greatly. Tens of billions. Do they take it or drop a dime on this marxist with the BC or something else because they realized that socialism will kill their businesses.

This POS already wiped out the banks and auto industry. Sadly too many people are too dumb to connect the dots.

This is “the capitalist will sell a hang man the rope” to a T. The capitalist at this point can change their mind but pretty soon they will swing from the rope.

This is very interesting. After all the networks (as well as other MSM) did for O, it looks like he’s going to let his FCC guy bite the proverbial hand.

I’ve been noticing that the press conference questions are starting to sound a bit more direct. I wonder if the battle has already begun.

That's right, Mr. Obama wants to demand free prime time coverage of his version of "Crazy Uncle Elmo Explains It All to Us." The idea would be that all four major networks would be required to simultaneously carry Obama in his Big Brother role, continuing to try to convince us that he alone has all the answers, that we can tax our way to prosperity, and that we should ignore all those felony records and charges of his Cabinet officials.

No wonder Hussein Øbama the Magnificent wants to delay the switchover to digital signal TV. That would delay the Firesign chats “explaining” his learned and superiorly educated point of view.

Good Heavens! The peasants might turn on AM radio and hear the truth if the TV goes out.

Yeah you will get the propaganda but everyone will get to keep their little dumb shows and ball games.

My approach is mass cancellations of TV service. It is the only way to break it and we let the news network know why.

Most Americans will sell their kids out if it means they can keep American Idol and college sports games, the NFL and NASCAR.

Eh second thot, I think Rush needs to start broadcasting offshore—a Radio Free America. Not kidding :(

The thought of pirate stations did cross my mind.

Yup. Was it Lenin who said (I mentioned it before in the thread) that “A capitalist will sell you the rope you use to hang him.”

Well O is getting ready to put the rope around their necks. This is their last chance. I think the morons will hang. Also the poor boiling frog analogy which I hate to mention because it is so disgusting.

I say Repubs cancel TV in mass and let the networks go broke.

Obama will get on the TV and use his NLP programming/hypnosis. NLP is not BS by the way it is real.

Not really. What was performed tonight in front of the cameras was a simple defusing exercise. Now the communists will proclaim great joy that Hussein Øbama The Magnificent has enlightened the masses with his "explanation" of a few semi-real questions regarding his approach to three or four aspects of his anonymous "Presidency."

Hey, not NASCAR! Just kidding but I know what you mean. It’s scarey times we’re living in. I’m so glad we don’t have any kids in school anymore...it used to be so different, civilized.

I’m trying to do what I can from my little corner of the world. FR keeps my mind healthy.

I don’t think it will be fun! Now I hear Obama also wants to control the CENSUS!...He wants to be a dictator and have control of everything, and everyone.

O has only been in office 3 weeks and he’s already done 2 primetime shows of an hour each. He made the nets cover him giving a speech to the house dems?, and a primetime news conference with obviously preselected questioners and presubmitted questions (anybody remember the last prime time presidential news conference?). At this rate we’ll probably be getting his reruns over the summer...

OMG! I didn’t believe you but there it was! We really are entering a different era and I don’t like it one bit.

“People...you have two choices BO’s way and BO’s way.”

I know that NPL is real. O had me zoned out tonight, so all I did was laugh at Mark Levin's “snoring.” LOL!

I honestly don't see *anyone* accepting reruns of “The Acorn Week in Review.” I see lead balloons falling everywhere that look a lot like TV versions of Air America.

We would have to go cold turkey. In 6 months or less something would happen. This guy is starting to get too expensive for a lot of capitalists. Like the old thing about a mugged liberal becoming a conservative. Even liberals with money will see that he and his marxists are bad for business.

Hopefully enough people in this country have two brain cells to realize that businesses, people with any money and others have ZERO confidence in this guy.
