If Genachowski and this administration is dumb enough to take talk radio off the air there will be much tar and feathers.
They really don't want to rattle that ferret cage!
The lefties have become control-freaks.
They are not LIBERAL, they are Anti-Liberal. imho
From a previous thread on the same subject:
What a gift to conservatives and the GOP. We have a once in a generation opportunity to capture the mushy middle using GEN X & Y by preserving Internet freedom.
I hope Boehner uses both edges of the sword on this one:
1. Very publicly undo the meddling and declare the Internet off limits while he’s Speaker
2. Defund the FCC and replace it with a market mechanism.
The hits keep on coming. If we play it right we’ll hold the House and capture the Senate in 2012...and hold them for 40 years!
Curious buggers..bound and determined to find out if that Second Amendment thingy really does mean what it says...aren’t they?
Something wrong here, given the immense number of news and opinion outlets that let the individual choose.
It’s almost as though King George ruled that Thomas Paine must permit the King a few paragraphs in each pamphlet.
Just think how far this could go. Vegan restaurants forced to offer meat dishes, Ford dealerships forced to inventory GM products, Unitarian churches forced to include a bit of the mass in front of a crucifix. The possibilities are endless.
If this means allowing crap to be broadcast as a result, so be it, we can always turn off our TVs or radios.
” FCC attempts to force progressive programming into broadcast media. “
Who would listen?
We already have scads of Leftist broadcasting networks blairing away on the TV. And they are losing their followers.
FCC’s Michael Copps wants to put warders aboard the broadcast media to guard against that pesky peoples’ First Amendment thing.. No warder boarding!
Beam me up, Scotty.....
I just saw that the Hip-Hop tune "F--- You" is up for a Grammy Award as Best Song or something.
Lock 'n Load, folks.
“serve the public interest.”
that means whatever the commissioner wants it to mean. If he doesn’t like what you say, you’re off the air.
Communicate to the little Goebbels Nazi that if he doesn’t back off he’ll face treason charges.
Time to fire up XERF in Cuidad Acuna and XEG in Monterey Mexico again.
Don’t worry, I haven’t given up on you yet.
Moonbattery has the video of what Copps said, you should hear it in it’s full chilling context:

Once again we were threatened with net neutrality.
These revolutionaries are as serious as a heart attack about taking our freedom to speak away online, on the radio, and on the TV. And they are not even trying to hide it.
1) Having heard it from Copps own mouth, now are you convinced that Net Neutrality is a threat? No, he did not put together ‘net neutrality’ with his machinations for controlling what is and isn’t news. It simply is too obvious to miss.
2) Which (if any) of the “astroturf” groups that you talk about have you seen point out what Copps recently said?
