Obama Administration Embeds "Government Researchers" To Monitor Media Organizations
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 20, 2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/25/2015 5:44:47 PM PST by Ray76

[T]he Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to roll out something called the Critical Information Needs study, which will embed government “researchers” into media organizations around the nation to make sure they are doing their job properly.

The purpose of the CIN, according to the FCC, is to ferret out information from television and radio broadcasters about “the process by which stories are selected” and how often stations cover “critical information needs,” along with “perceived station bias” and “perceived responsiveness to underserved populations.”

For zombies, it is cardio and double tap.

For gubmit “researchers”, make do with double tap.

And do it with a sneer.

They deserve all they will most certainly get.

Sounds like a backdoor ‘Fairness Doctrine’ to go along with the net takeover.

Wow, the suppression of free speech on the internet is moving swiftly! I'm actually impressed. Within MONTHS Free Republic will be shut down. I gave it a year or two. It won't last that long.

Matt, I am reiterating my clarion call. GTFO of the country while you still can. Remember our discussion, not to leave until they start setting up Truth Squads. Don't wait until SWAT busts your door down because you wrote some books.

This is what they tried to pull on radio broadcasters last year. But they backed off too quickly. They must’ve known that the real trouble makers were on the Internet. They (and people like us) are more dangerous to Obama agenda than rush and levin. Bloggers and Facebook are spreading the news way faster than they can anymore.

It is what you get when you put a communist dictator in the WH. The USSR had its “political officers” embedded everywhere.
America was warned.

I don’t hold out much hope for the government agencies. Obama and his agents have been working tirelessly for six years to remake, replace those who won’t toe the new line, and prepare them for the day they will be ordered to move against any segment of the population that won’t support Obama’s remade Amerika.

This is all happening at a frightening speed. Six months from now, we won’t even recognize our old country.

You sure that isn’t from the Patriot Act? Fema has the SAME authority.
