By hook or crook, BOHICA the censorship of free speech and our to right to peaceably assemble. Not to mention, it restricts our ability to form coalitions that petition our government for redress. Talk radio hosts are our 'community organizers'. It will result in absolute loss of all the tenets of the 1st Amendment. After #1, #2 will be thusly subverted illegally. Check out AmericanThinker.com. The comments there are insightful as well on the subject. We are in for it. They want to shut us up. What is next, the death of FreeRepublic.com with Net Neutrality? Sleep tight FReepers and may God go with you.

Of course, none of these “localism” rules will apply to any other media outlets.

This “localism” b.s. does sound like a dire threat to syndicated conservative talk radio.
otoh, if the Obamanators move forward on this the explosive counter-reaction may be just what is needed to recharge the conservative movement.

IOW the King Hussein will declare talk radio abolished, never mind the sponsors and owners and most of all the absolute violation of our rights to free speech.
Leftwing radio has failed consistently , so the airwaves would be full of--what? Propaganda issued from the King's reincarnation of Goebbels? Supported b\y tax money? This man is a serious psychopath. Make all the conjectures you want, I certainly am. I see a Soviet Amerika beginning if he is not stopped in his tracks by the Supreme Court. This intense refusal to show his true birth certif. must bring him down. The Court will have no other choice. We will have either Pres. Biden or Pres. McAmnesty; the enemies we know are better than the secretive ones we don't.

This “localism” BS is yet another reason that any content regulation of broadcast media must be outlawed. Only the owners of radio and TV stations should be allowed to determine content.

When my friends wonder why I am not "high" on Obama as they are, I tell them that he and his handlers will take away our rights.
They don't see it coming, or they refuse to look.
Soon, Americans will wake up to the horrors of one-party rule and say "What have we done to our country?"

So if your station doesn’t spew Obama’s nonsense 24/7, you will be taken off the air? Our new tin horn dictator thinks he can actually make this happen? LOL!

Wonderful! That's exactly the kind of overreach that doomed Democrats in Clinton's first two years, when he started signing executive orders that showed his priorities, which electorate did not expect.
This will not increase radio traffic to "progressive" radio stations, rather it would have an effect of turning many in the media against him. "First they came for the Conservatives..."

Churches are part of “the local community”. Often a leading part. So does that mean under localism that radio stations are in effect obliged to broadcast church services?
Just checking.

I heard all the belly aching about Obama and the Fairness Doctrine having 60 votes in the Senate and all he really has to do is have 3 votes on the FCC board.
I don't think it has really set in just how serious this is going to get and how quick. The SCOTUS judges he pick will give us thrills for the next 30 years. He already has several executive orders written up for the first week. One of which will reinstate the drilling ban offshore. The loss in congress was terrible, but he can do irreversible damage with the stroke of a pen.
