Well, there is a little thing standing in the way of their totalitarian impulses. It’s called THE CONSTITUTION!

More like he wants to turn it into Isvetsia, Pravda, and Tass and be the Minister of Propaganda.

I call for greater de-funding of the FCC. Close their office turn off the power and stop their pay.

Dumbass -

"I think American media has a bad case of substance abuse right now....we are going to be pretty close to denying our citizens the essential news and information that they need to have in order to make intelligent decisions about the future direction of their country."

He means approved by Obama government news.

These guys are playing with fire.

So, this chattering Commie, Copps, goes on BBC to talk up some sort of (implied) government “oversight” of the news media, as if there’s no 1st Amendment standing in the way.

Typical left-wing Borg operative.

And, we all know that by “news media”, he means Fox News and conservative talk radio. He’s not fooling anyone.

[Mr_Moonlight]

As I said on an earlier thread regarding this statement by Copps -- It isn't the FCC's job nor it's function to determine or shape the content of what does or doesn't get broadcast --

He is WAY out of line with this statement

[VeniVidiVici]

Wow! Brain dead AND a communist! No wonder he was high on Barry’s “need to hire” scale!

[colorado tanker]

Now why didn't I think of that?

Oh, wait, I DID!

FCC Commissioner Calls For Greater Strangulation of News Media

[FrankR]

The left is just getting all wee-wee'd up that people don't believe their MSM, liberal steno-pool anymore; I mean, it's really, really hard to spread lies and propaganda when so many other outlets are bent on telling the truth.

"If we could only stifle Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and FOX news for a while, we could lie our way back into power again."

Someone needs to tell numbnutts Copps that the SECOND AMENDMENT guarantees us a FIRST AMENDMENT...'nuff said.

[purplelobster]

Michael Copps is the Democrat kook who spent years obsessing over the exposure of Janet Jackson’s nipple during the Super Bowl halftime, finally imposing huge fines for the slip.

If he truly wants dissemination of news and information, the best way is to suspend the DMCA, and have much greater limits over what that is published to the Internet that can legally be copyrighted.

A simple rule of thumb should be that if people have to pay for it, then it is copyrightable. If it is provided free, then outside of fair use, the creator can demand recognition as the creator, with republication.

[denydenydeny]

"What we've had in recent years is an aberration where we have had no oversight of the media.

234 years, to be exact. The "aberration" is better known as THE FIRST AMENDMENT. The new Congress needs to haul this clown into hearings and read him the riot act. And the Constitution while they're at it.

[listenhillary]

We have a media that chose our president. We have a media that chose our Republican nominee for president.

So STFU.
