The minute the government shuts down FOX news - or any other conservative outlet, their takeover is complete...let the games begin.

A group of liberal journalists used a now-defunct listserv to debate the merits of whether the federal government should forcibly shut down Fox News, according to a report in The Daily Caller.
The online publication earlier reported that the journalists in the private group discussed ways to shield Barack Obama from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal when Obama was a presidential candidate. The latest article showed that several members of Journolist aired complaints about Fox News on the listserv in March of this year and debated how best to rein it in.
Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, who said he was "genuinely scared" of the network, reportedly said "peer pressure" and "self-regulation" were not working.
"In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework," he said.
According to the report, UCLA law professor Jonathan Zasloff urged the federal government to stop the network.
"I hate to open this can of worms, but is there any reason why the FCC couldn't simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?" he wrote.

If you had read the article, you never would have posted your little pearl of wisdom.
Brilliant!
Urinalists — I love it!
Probably one of my better efforts ;-)
An FBI informant who had infiltrated the Weather Underground testified about how Bill Ayers and the other pointy-headed academics who were running their movement talked very openly in bull sessions about the need for “re-education camps” and “liquidating” their opposition. Don’t think that they still don’t believe it!
“Fox News is on cable and there is no permit required for cable.
So, stuff it professor, and what’s more you’re not exactly too bright are you?”
Really Professor, being hateful and stupid is no way to go through life!
Not only that, but they are on Cable which does require a license, only local broadcasters require a license.
“lets see if the rest of the media ask questions of these turds...”
When hell freezes over, they will. I doubt there is so much as one lib journo out there who does`nt want the govt. to shut down FoxNews.
I used to think it was bad enough when the thought gov was the solution to every big thing, but now they want gov to be the solution to everything. (Like childhood obesity, etc)
“Fox News is on cable and there is no permit required for cable.”
Whats to prevent the Emperor and the lib Congress from changing that? The Constitution? lol
They know that we know they have no regard for the 1st Amendment, and little regard for their trade.
They are not journalists, but agents of propaganda.
“Henceforth I will not use the word “media” to describe these outlets. The word “shills” will do just fine.”
I believe the word you are looking for is “Mediacrat.”
LOL!!
“I just cannot grasp why there are some citizens in the United States that just beg to live in tyranny. I just don’t get it. They don’t appreciate freedom.”
Not hard to grasp at all considering they`ve been taught all their lives from kindergarten through college that living in freedom is bad and that living under the likes of Stalin and Mao Tse Tung is good.
Good one!
Don’t forget PBS, which is very liberal.
Then we begin to rebuild using the Constitution again for the first time in decades.
