FCC Orders NBC Newsrooms To Partner With Soros-Funded Non-Profits
Big Government ^ | 2/3/11 | Dana Loesch

Posted on 02/03/2011 11:12:42 AM PST by tutstar

So much for objectivity. One of the FCC stipulations of the Comcast – NBCU merger was the incorporation of non-profit journalism centers into NBC newsrooms. They are charged with maintaining and increasing local news coverage, the regulation based on the relationship between KNSD-TV and VoiceofSanDiego.org.

KNSD airs the segments, but really can’t take all the credit for them. They are largely the work ofVoiceOfSanDiego.org, a local nonprofit journalism center that has been sharing news tips, co-producing and supplying content to the station for several years.

[...]

Under the terms of the FCC order approving Comcast’s takeover of NBCU, at least half of NBC’s 10 O&Os have to find a nonprofit news center with which to work within the next year. The order cites the KNSD-VoiceOfSanDiego.org alliance as the model for what it would like to see in other NBC markets.

Proponents of the growing nonprofit news movement are hoping that NBC’s FCC-mandated efforts will bear fruit and encourage other commercial TV stations to seek out nonprofit partners.

There’s just one problem with this: Voice of San Diego is a member of INN (Investigative News Network) which is funded by the Open Society Institute, the URL of which is “www.soros.org.” Yes, these “non-profit” journalism centers are funded by George Soros.

Too many but I fear the majority here don’t appreciate liberty as much as some Egyptians want it.

Saw the thread earlier. I’m not sure the coverage by NBC of Obama will change that much. I mean, how much more a$$-kissing can they do?

Do u think this may be a loophole they’re exploiting ? I’m sure there was a reason 0 studied constitutional law and it appears he didn’t study it so he could be sure it’s followed.

The EPA is now classifying cows milk as oil so they can put more regs on the farmers. More and more control .

The Hungarian gets his damn fingers into everything bad. Freaking commie bastard. And the FCC. It appears one would be very hard pressed to find any Federal entity that is neutral at this point. They all turned left.
