Alert: They are moving fast!
Most assumed Congress would simply re-enact the "Fairness Doctrine", but the clever libtards are no longer calling it The Fairness Doctrine anymore - now it is called "The Diversity in Media Ownership Act", which essentially uses government to MANDATE "different and diverse voices" whereby they consider the entire radio, TV, Internet and Cable spectrum to be "public airwaves/public interest" and will mandate 'diverse' views and opinions.
This will kill completely, the success of advertising-sponsored AM/talk radio.
Obama's new White House website
highlights this agenda here:
Quote:
| Encourage Diversity in Media Ownership: Encourage diversity in the ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation's spectrum. |
While the GOP tries in vain to halt implementation of the "Fairness Doctrine", Diversity in Media Ownership achieves the same results without appearing to look like a silence of Conservative views.
Of course once Talk Radio is silenced,
they will silence Christian radio shortly thereafter.
With the rest of the patriotic Christians held up in rural Churches with compromising Pastors fearing of losing their 503c status. They won't want to risk a Waco insurrection followed up with BATF repercussions.
They will cave in and sign up for FEMA Clergy Response Detail.
They have nearly thought of everything.
