FCC Power Grab

The FCC, which DOES control broadcast television because of the fantasy that “the air waves” belong to everybody, is now attempting to broaden its control to include newspapers. They want to send “monitors” to “advise” (order) newspapers on what to cover and what NOT to cover. I don’t know whether or not they want the newspapers to PAY for them, but to have them THERE is an abomination and will NOT be allowed by the newspapers, who value their independence and First Amendment rights. Yes, the media DOES mostly “toe the line” in their reporting, but to make it “official,” they will not tolerate. I could be wrong. It could be that newspaper people are already so “cowed” that they’ll accept this usurpation. If so, we’re LOST. Journalism is DEAD. People like me will be the ONLY place to get REAL news. Until they put us out of business. The people who THINK they’re “journalists” are just “secretaries” jotting down what they’re TOLD to write, and ignorant Americans who “pay no attention to politics,” have no idea what’s happening. The same thing happened in Russia and Germany, even Argentina, where Hugo Chavez did the same thing. This is just one step toward tyranny and way too many people just don’t notice. Soon they’ll wake up under some “strongman’s” thumb. Obama hopes that strongman will be him. (Media-Ite)
