Shouldn’t that be “Diversity Czar”?
Don’t try to make it fair, just dilute it.
You took the words out of my mouth and posted them here...
Liberal talk shows cannot make money. The problem for them is they are all shrill jerks and conspiracy theory jags. The free market has exposed the liberals and their agenda in the purest way. Obama and company will do whatever they must to fix that - especially since it means stepping on the 1st Amendment rights of conservatives.
These peckerhead losers are like toxic water seeking its own level, and ALWAYS finding a way “to get in”.
Dang it! Late again.
This is part of the POTUS’s afroturf campaign. Rather than let the market decide who to listen to, Obama wants to force his racial agenda on us. The best way is to take control of the only form of mass communication that thus far eludes him, and that is talk radio.
Just like he is using his race cronies to afroturf the health care debate (think the AARP run by a big time Obama supporter who is going totally against the wishes of his members to support socialized health care), he wants to stifle all forms of dissent by using ‘diversity’ to diminish conservative viewpoints. Very dangerous what he is doing because the people are catching on to his strategy.
Prof Gates/Sgt Crowley revealed what Obama thought he buried with his race speech after Rev Wright debacle. That is that Obama, for all his talk of being post partisan, post racial, etc., is willing to play the race card when it suits his purposes.
I’m sure his first order of business will be shepherding a request made by minority station owners for a bailout. The largest black station in Pittsburgh was sold to a group that is planning to run Catholic religious programming, setting off alarm bells in the Diversity Broadcast community. Supposedly the owners were flat-broke and had to sell, so the others are now looking for a taxpayer bailout to keep the airwaves “diverse”.
As I said in the reply following yours, the Left does not consider itself subject to the logical strictures of the marketplace, which is why they so strenuously analyze and promote the myriad ways through which they can promote their way into political viability-—the concepts of unfairness, and victimage have always been central to their worldview because nothing else begins to explain how “marginalized” they think, and want everyone else to think they’ve become. Never underestimate the absolute contempt they have for the whole concept of the marketplace. They are intent on forcing their entirely counterfeit construction of a levelled playing field invading and paving over the real marketplace.
NOW THAT THEY’VE BEEN ELECTED, they seem miffed that they still have SO MUCH WORK TO DO.
How about diversity commisar?
They know that normal people will just switch to the internet and abandon talk radio. That’s why the leftist wackos want desperately to control the internet.
The War on freedom continues
Now they’re trying to tell people who to listen to. Isn’t there such a thing as freedom of hearing?
More Marxism at work.
Great! I’m sure his first action will be to mandate Larry Elder on the dial across the nation, right? I miss my Sage from South Central!
Obama went over the line with DeathCare (tm). People are now so full of his crap that they have become a permanent anti-Obama force in our politics. Radio censorhip will just create another firestorm. As someone said, ‘Just wait. In a year they will have so far over-reached that the public, in a fit of revulsion, will throw them out of office.’
They’ll just kill AM radio. We conservatives will go to the satellite.
Within a few years, only cable TV and satellite will be profitable.
BTTT
Would they block it like they do in China
This is frightening. Far left incrementalism for sure. I'll ping my list here in a few minutes...
And the wealthy GOP coupon clippers thought AA would only effect slubs like firemen, dang funny how that works out.
