SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; to our ability to do our work here in Congress; and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

Senator, here’s the reason that doesn’t fly. The FCC was created to monitor the public airwaves because of the limited availability of frequencies and the need to not have everybody’s signals bleeding into each other. Cable/satellite is not that way. There are now thousands of channels and nobody is forced to buy them or be exposed to them if they choose not to.

If you’re going to ban FNC and MSNBC, you should also ban HBO and all the other smut channels that couldn’t exist over the air. Not even the so-called Fairness Doctrine should apply to cable/satellite for the same reason.

The FCC is unconstitutional.

Senator Jay Rockefeller has proudly served the people of West Virginia for over 40 years.

Fat chance. The tweaker hillbillies will keep voting for the creep as long as the welfare keeps flowing and the bacon keeps coming back to the state.

Rockefeller is one of the reasons we don’t have faith in our government and future.

Good idea Comrade Rockefeller! Send them all to the Gulag, where they will stay until they give us the information we want, which is, by definition, anything we want them to say....!

"When we saw that video, we KNEW they were coming for our means of communication. For those of you that are just joining the information age, the scenario goes something likes this, and I am paraphrasing as this is by no means the whole time-line. I know my readers are going to add other important events to the list.

•In the 1880′s Andrew Carnegie started talking about putting the British Empire and the American Empire together.

•1902 – The Pilgrims Society of Great Britain is formed.

•1903 – The Pilgrims Society of the United States is formed.

•The American aristocracy starts buying into all forms of business and controlling boards.

•1910 – The Jekyll Island consortium of NY Bankers puts together the Federal Reserve Act. (Paul Warburg)

•1913 – The Federal Reserve Act is passed and the central banking system is set up.

•1919 – The League of Nations covenant is written.

•1920 – The League of Nations begins.

•1921 – The Council on Foreign Relations is formed by Paul Warburg.

•The American aristocracy starts foundations, i.e. Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller.

•1929 – The Great Depression starts.

•1945 – The United Nations begins.

•The American aristocracy starts funding the campaigns of politicians that want to become the American Aristocracy.

•The American aristocracy starts running their sons, and later daughters for public office.

•The American aristocracy starts institutes, think tanks, and groups funded by the foundations.

•The Pilgrims Society ends up “owning” the American government, i.e. Dodd, Frank, Waters, Obama…yada, yada, yada. There are republicans in here too; Newt Gingrich is a member of the CFR as is Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

•The Community Reinvestment Act is amended to allow groups like ACORN to pressure banks with the help of Congress to give loans to people that could NEVER afford them.

•The Housing Bubble is created.

•Annette Nazareth created the voluntary program intended to supervise large investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and the now-defunct Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch.

•AIG and the New York Banks are allowed to grow to immense proportions.

•911 occurs and the campaign against the Constitution and civil liberties begins in earnest; i.e. Homeland Security and the Patriot Act.

•The Iraq war starts thereby draining the treasury and demoralizing the country.

•The housing bubble collapses.

•Americans are instantly impoverished and demoralized.

•The usurpers-in-charge are put in the White House and the unconstitutional laws continue.

•The White House and Democratic Congress with the help of a few traitorous Republicans are jamming through INSANE monetary bills.

•Billions of taxpayer money is funneled through AIG to the aristocracy owned banks here and abroad.

•Trillions of dollars go from the Fed to the aristocracy’s banks.

•The White House and Democratic Congress are trying to pass laws that would require mandatory service, the food police for home gardens among other food producers, and an end to the term limits for the president.

•Obama guts America at the G20.

•AND WE NOW HAVE Jay Rockefeller of one of the American Aristocracy calling for S773 and S778 along with Olympia Snowe. Please note that the control of the CyberSecurity Czar falls under the control of the Executive Branch."

Or people who don’t like FOX or PMSNBC can simply change the channel. For example, I was offended when Chrissie Mathews had pre-mature ejaculation over Bill Clinton. I changed the chanel. I am not longer offended.

Yeah, Jayjay because the 1st amendment is all about making it easier for you to do your phony-baloney job.

This is the mentality of the elitist/socialist. The really sad part is through what ever means necessary, Rockefeller and his club members will continue to be reelected.
