Boehner is trying to install the wheelers and dealers right back into the places where they can do the most damage.
Posted this thread on Joe Barton. He needs to fight back on this one too.
RINOs & insulated, comatose GOP power-mongers are oblivious to the fact that if they are successful in thwarting Constitution-loving conservatives, they will be kings of a dung pile and go down in history as enablers of the premeditated destruction of America.

FCC push to regulate news draws fire

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) pushed back on Monday against a contention by a Democratic FCC commissioner that the government should create new regulations to promote diversity in news programming.
Barton was reacting to a proposal made last week by FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, who in a speech suggested that broadcasters be subject to a new “public values test” every four years.
“I hope … that you do not mean to suggest that it is the job of the federal government, through the [FCC], to determine the content that is available for Americans to consume,” Barton wrote Monday in a letter to Copps.
