SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; to our ability to do our work here in Congress; and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

Are those his words, or the reporter’s headline?

Neither Fox or MSNBC is on the “airwaves”. They are both cable channels.

Rockefeller's statement opens with "I hunger for quality news. I’m tired of the right and the left." So, this is in part a complaint about MSNBC's liberal bias. Isn't that quaint! Rockefeller is trying to be bipartisan!

Senator, we don't believe a word you said. The left's notion of quality news always turns out to be laughably biased leftist propaganda. Let the market decide who stays on the air.

Scratch every lib and there's a totalitarian underneath.

Sounds like some of the small minded FReepers around here.

They attack you if you post from sites they don't like.

Glad my Dad, who served in WW II Army Air Corps, is not here to see this violation of US liberty.

What part of “Congress shall make no law” do you not understand, Senator?

This should be cause for removal from office. If he were a Republican this would be a lead story.

Jay’s just sore that Soros got his spot as successor to his uncle as Secret Ruler of the World.

“Here’s a better idea. How about the people of West Virginia take Rockefeller out of the Senate?”

We can’t do that for another four years. These comments are worth a call to the local office.

What an arrogant, elitist, disconnected, #$%*&% SOB POS, this is EXACTLY what has inspired the Tea Party, not only do we know our representatives in DC are completely out of touch, they lecture us about it, people have started to get mad, hence the recent election results, bring on 2012...

C-Span page of the hearing.Rockefeller starts at about 8:30. The money quote is at 13:00. I am in a fiery rage about Rockefeller's "little bug".
