Obama’s FCC has a few questions for broadcasters and newsroom editors.
• What is the news philosophy of the station?
• Who else in your market provides news?
• Who are your main competitors?
• How much news does your station (stations) air every day?
• Is the news produced in-house or is it provided by an outside source?
• Do you employ news people?
• How many reporters and editors do you employ?
• Do you have any reporters or editors assigned to topic “beats”? If so how many and what
are the beats?
• Who decides which stories are covered?
• How much influence do reporters and anchors have in deciding which stories to cover?
• How much does community input influence news coverage decisions?
• How do you define critical information that the community needs?
• How do you ensure the community gets this critical information?
“Fundamental Transformation” of the United States, indeed.
You’re a little late with this one, V.
It’s been deep sixed.
As far as I’m concerned, this is a tactic that this regime uses often: float some horsesh*t totalitarian idea like this because it serves as a distraction from the ‘meat and potatoes’ issues on which this mixed race, half-witted clown and his cronies have a record of complete and utter FAILURE.
It’s the same as the DHS floating the ‘license plate tracking’ idea (which you wrote about), then dropping it shortly after.
Which is not to say that these scumbags dropped these ideas because they saw their incongruity with the Constitution. They’d be more than happy to implement any and all of them if they thought for a New York second that they could get away with it.
Deep-sixed, or “delayed until a more politically opportune time?”
It won’t be a very long delay. We’ll need these programs and more if we are to continue beating Eastasia.
It is interesting to note that both the license plate tracking plan and the FCC plan got nixed after the failure of the Connecticut assault rifle registration plan. I would be interested in seeing the time line for the details on the rollouts of these plans.
Canceled, delayed, or not; you have to ask yourself, why does the Obama Regime think it’s okay to ask these questions?
What is happening is exactly what has been happening since day one of this administration.
He is searching for all they ways he is allowed to stretch his power. Each executive order stretches it a bit more.
Seriously, the man has already violated the very Constitution his swore to uphold, but because he is half-black nobody will dare impeach him.
I hope to God someone is keeping track of all of the violations, and make laws against them when a Republican is in power.
Nothing less than a grandiloquent (read: turgid) rebranding of the fairness doctrine by other means.
Communists, socialists, Democrats never let the sun set on their fundamental efforts to upend representative democracy and the Bill of Rights in particular.
This attempt at press censorship was exceptionally amateurish. Even the dedicated Democrat ideologues are running for the tall grass.
This does have a certain amount of “fear factor” just by announcing the possibility. It clearly states, be prepared to provide the information. Just like the IRS targeting conservative groups. How many people will think twice about starting a 501(c) group for conservative issues after hearing what has happened to all the others?
it amounts to domestic terrorism sponsored by the POTUS.

For people who claim to uphold civil rights and to be on the side of the “little guy,” there sure is an authoritarian streak in so-called “progressives.”
Because Bastiat fan, they always “speaketh with forked tongue.” There is nothing that is remotely truthful, honest or sincere about all their ridiculous ideological bull $hit(global warming, raising minimum wage, GOP war on women, etc….) There is ALWAYS an ulterior motive. They just know that the stupid, naive, and ignorant ones among us will buy into the chicanery(for example the liberal trolls that frequent this blog) and believe it hook, line and sinker. Compound that with the biased MSM, and they think they are untouchable. God, just look at the impunity with which obama has gotten away with things that make so many of want to vomit. Hell, based on this:http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/02/20/time-to-forget-the-united-states-beck-says-the-fundamental-transformation-has-already-happened/ , Glenn Beck is throwing in the towel.
Just plain flat out, we need to replace this president real soon – if not, I am afraid that Beck may be correct. I hope he isn’t, but every day we get deeper down the hole of Obama style socialism.
Isn’t this what Hitler, Mao, and Stalin did in their countries when they started consolidating power?
It’s ok, though, everyone. It’s for “The Children”!
“Isn’t this what Hitler, Mao, and Stalin did in their countries when they started consolidating power?”
For the American Left, those aren’t warnings, they’re models.
V the K is a bit late, but the fact that they even suggested doing it, is utterly chilling.
