“What’s so controversial about a free press?”
Well, in the eyes of the Diversity Czar, there is plenty wrong with it. Especially when it transmits oposing viewpoints in radio format.
“But Lloyd’s article merely supported the views expressed by Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black to promote as many media outlets as possible by preventing the consolidation of media in too few hands. Lloyd even quotes Justice Black in the article that the First Amendment of the Constitution ‘rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public, that a free press is a condition of a free society.’”
We know they say they want a free press. I just don’t think the best way to ensure it is through strict regulation of media outlets, which we all know is the only solution they’d come up with. There wasn’t much diversity or antagonism when the Fairness Doctrine was in force. Mostly there was silence.
Free Press = Government Approved Press
Nothing to see here...

I don’t get it.
