Have you met our newly appointed, Obama stamp approved, "Diversity" Czar for the FCC?
No?
Well...check him out.
Mark Lloyd, chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), called for a “confrontational movement” to combat what he claimed was control of the media by international corporations and to re-establish the regulatory power of government through robust public broadcasting and a more powerful FCC.Lloyd expressed his regulatory call to arms in his 2006 book, “Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America” (University of Illinois Press).
In the book, Lloyd also said that public broadcasting should be funded through new license fees charged to the nation’s private radio and television broadcasters, and that new regulatory fees should be used to fund eight new regional FCC offices.
These offices would be responsible for monitoring political advertising and commentary, children’s educational programs, number of commercials, and content ratings of the programs.
Frequently referencing one of his heroes, left-wing activist Saul Alinsky, Lloyd claims in his book that the history of American communications policy has been one of continued corporate control of every form of communication from the telegraph to the Internet.
~~~For those who think any or all of these recommendations might infringe on the free speech rights of broadcasters, Lloyd says his concern is not the “exaggerated” concerns over the First Amendment.
“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press,” he said. “This freedom is all too often an exaggeration.
And just today Glenn Beck aired some footage of Lloyd speaking about the great change that happened in Venezuela with the dictator Chavez coming to power:
In Venezuela, with Chavez, really a incredible revolution. A dramatic revolution. To begin to put into place saying that we're going to have impact on the people of Venezuela.The property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media rebelled, work frankly with folks here in the US government, worked to oust him and came back and had another revolution and Chavez started to take the media very seriously in this country.
Get that? The "property owners" didn't want a dictator, didn't want Communism, and that's bad. Our government even helped them fight against Communism but Chavez, Lloyd's hero, came back fighting and took over the media.....which is a good thing to our new FCC czar.
He is completely opposed to any privately owned communications.
Read that again.
He want's a government takeover of our media!
Here's Glenn with Seton Motley:

Headline on Drudge tonight is "HEALTH BILL FROM THE GRAVE: DEMS RALLY AROUND KENNEDYCARE" with a picture of Pelosi and Kennedy. They fully intend to ram this down our throats. Pelosi and Obama will verbalize Kennedy as a saint and demand he be honored.....it begins.
But what would the media gain? They could stop this if they actually started doing some real reporting.
Yeah, because they were all friends of his.
LOL! How Orwellian of you!
If anyone missed Beck, he’s rebroadcast at 2 am, so set your DVRs.
I don't know how to answer that except to paraphrase Ann Coulter; The media in this country are a bunch of Godless morons and Obama is their God.
They absolutely idolize him, I would not be surprised to learn that some of them actually pray to him and I'm not trying to be funny either.
It’s going to come down to “The Right Stuff” vs “The Wright Stuff”..
Do you know that the Pentagon has a proposal involving control of how part-time military troops are used in any state? “The Pentagon argues a change is needed so the president, through his defense chief, would gain the ability to mobilize soldiers when a state seeks aid in a catastrophic natural disaster, such as a hurricane. “When the military gets involved, questions arise about “who is in control and where the buck is going to stop. Governors take very seriously the responsibility of being in command and control of those responders,” said National Guard spokesman David Quam.” Read the whole article at http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/articles/2009/08/24/news/top/doc4a930f85533059901107 You know where OB is going with this...forewarned is forewarned.
ITs a first.
Goes against the constitution. Goes against freedom and liberty , the underlying principle in the constitution.
In my estimation, thats a sound basis for impeachment. Its a TREASONOUS conspiracy to hijack the country. And THAT IS what is happening with the parallel government coming into play.
there are others that see key players in the background

Axelgereasy tells them that healthcare provided by their benevolent despot governemnt is their Constitutional right. And they then repeat that mantra without ever bothering to find out if Axelgreasy is lying to them, since they firmly believe that if it is not in the original document it needs to be. Law is not the same thing to them that it is to self-sufficient conservatives.
They could try making it too expensive for “one-sided” radio stations to operate by taxing them out of business, unless they diversify their ownership and programing.
Part of what Glenn Beck covered was that they want to set up some sort of 4 point system, all designed to put you off the air. He also mentioned that they want to tax 100% of operating income to pay for NPR type stations
The intent of this administration is to literally destroy the USA...deny our history and traditions.
The founders of our great country are being portrayed as selfish, hateful, slave owning White guys and their memory is of no value to anyone. They will demonize and then erase them from history.
The list, ping
That is the basis of the constitution.
Now muslim marxists have hijacked us!
Barry-o needs to be stopped! IMPEACHED for his treasonous conspiracy against the people and the constitution!
The founders are rolling in their graves.
