The criticism is specifically about the new media law. Apparently, there is going to be a new government agency overseeing all news production in tv, radio, print, and the internet, which is supposed to make sure that the reporting is properly “balanced” and “factually correct,” and which has the power to issue heavy fines for what it perceives as breaches of fair coverage.

Apparently, they are having a liberal media problem that they are trying to solve in this way. But you know how these things work out…how would you like a bunch of Obama-appointed government henchmen overseeing the media, sending everybody from Fox News to Jim Thompson big bills whenever they don’t like what they see?

The linked article says nothing about government henchmen overseeing the media. What is your source?
