Full title: FEC chair warns that conservative media like Drudge Report and Sean Hannity face regulation --- like PACs

You're not going to win this OBot.

2A guarantees 1A. Just sayin.

[Still Thinking]

“I think that there are impulses in the government every day to second guess and look into the editorial decisions of conservative publishers,” warned Federal Election Commission Chairman Lee E. Goodman in an interview.

Exactly. After you regulate the 90% of the media you own so that they can't be all Democrat sucking, all the time, and your scheme has proven itself over 10 years or so, THEN we can worry about regulating the 10% minority voices.

I find it terrifying that the devil never sleeps, that they are relentless in their efforts to control the people.

What goes around, comes around. I can't wait until the Republicans control the House and Senate and then the White House. When the FEC declares the NY Times, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC Democratic front organizations the Dem's will have another point of view.

Lordy, the RATS are desperate. GOOD!!!!

[Safrguns]

So they basically admit that mainstream media belongs to the dems, and respond with regulation to regain their unfair advantage???

The fed isn’t fixable... time for the states to end it.

[newnhdad]

whew.. good thing we didn’t elect Romney.. we really dodged a bullet there...

[Excellence]

Because putting an 0botter in the news rooms didn’t pan out, now this.

[logi_cal869]

I had to do a doubletake earlier when I read that article...

...I simply could’t believe the FEC chair was defending the right to political speech. (I thought it was satire, save for the source)

[The Great RJ]

If Obama’s fascists have their way we could be listening to Hannity and Rush broadcasting from beyond the Obama curtain on short wave radio.

[justa-hairyape]

Dear Fed,

If you wanna walk like Putin,

you have to be like Putin.

[Democrat_media]

That Republican chairman Goodman is the only thing keeping the FEC from regulating the conservative media.

notice the democrats on the FEC want regulation. so when Goodman goes awat in December they will start regulating. and many on here say there is no difference between the parties. read the article again to see

I'm confused. Drudge doesn't do any actual investigations or editorializing himself.

He just collects stories from the web that are interesting, and have in most cases (but not ALL) a conservative "angle".

And he'll publish things that the MSM wants hidden, like the Lewinsky scandal.

Newsweek had that one on their desk, and refused to run with it. I'm sure until they could figure out how to give a liberal spin on it.

But Drudge ran it before the MSM could pre-screen what was said.
