Hidden Agenda: The FCC’s Diversity Officer
Breitbart's Big Hollywod BLOG ^ | 9/10/09 | Brian Jennings

Since writing; "Censorship: The Threat to Silence Talk Radio" published in May by Simon & Schuster, I’ve been watching developments at the FCC closely.

I quoted Craig Aaron of Free Press, a liberal media watchdog group with inside connections to the FCC ,who said: “I don’t support re-instating the Fairness Doctrine not because I don’t support the goals, but because I think it’s the wrong way to go about it.” In other words, there is a RIGHT way to go about it – to muzzle conservative talk radio.

Silencing conservative radio will put the finish on King Obama. And he won't like the way he goes.

Progressive Liberalism as self defined is adverse to free speech! Although, for them speech is free as long as such supports their agenda, other than that heresy will cost you dearly. And that is why, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!”

So much for celebrating diversity. What a bunch of lying hypocrites. They want to try to quash free speech in America, they're welcome to try. They are not going to like the outcome.
