Here’s what I’m talking about.
Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes. “It’s all about diversity in media,” says a House Energy staffer, familiar with the meetings. “Does one radio station or one station group control four of the five most powerful outlets in one community? Do four stations in one region carry Rush Limbaugh, and nothing else during the same time slot? Does one heavily trafficked Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites that present alternative views? These are some of the questions the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer them.”
Just think if one of us evil Republicans gets back into office, we’ll force you to carry ad banners for the George W. Bush library on your liberal myspace page.
I sure hope that the next time Barack Obama gives a press conference, he trots up RNC head Michael Steele to offer alternative views after he answers a question.
“The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we’ve established that broadband networks — the Internet — are critical, national infrastructure. We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure.”
Thanks stimulus! Good job focusing on that economy.
Like I said earlier, it just keeps building.

It certainly looks like free speech will soon be a thing of the past. the fairness doctrine sounds like censorship by the back door. Her comes big brother looking over your shoulder. My choice of good christian programs on Sunday over TBN will be a thing of the past. looks like our basic freedoms paid for in the blood of our military men and women are slipping away before our very eyes. God help us. A new world order seems just around the corner when we as a nation will loose our souverinty for the greater good so they say. that is what happens when we as a nation kick God out of our schools,government, courts and make abortion the law of the land. We have lost our way. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and seek my face i will hear them and heal their land. We still have time!!!!
