The FCC Diversity Officier admires this Guy
Sep 7th, 2009 by David Anderson
Another 29 Radio stations are shut down by Chavez and the one opposition television network is under threat. This is the guy that President Obama’s FCC Diversity officer Mark Lloyd admires. If his new rules ever get adopted by the new Democrat majority at the FCC, it could be a foreshadowing of our future. He declared, “But he came back with another revolution, and then Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country”. Pat Caddell is right they are trying to flood the zone, but we have to be up to the challenge.
Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was “democratizing” media ownership. Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.
The powerful Chavez ally has threatened to close over 100 stations in total, part of a long-term campaign against private media that the government says are biased against Chavez’s government.
“Another 29 will be gone before long,” he told thousands of Chavez supporters at a political rally, without giving details which stations would be closed or when.
Cabello also said he was launching a new legal case against Globovision, the country’s most prominent anti-government television network, accusing it of inciting a coup against Chavez.
Only in a dictatorship can media censorship be called “democratizing.” The radical left does not recognize the traditional meaning of words. Their world is Humpty Dumpty’s world, where ‘words mean whatever I wish them to mean.’
Unfortunately, there are quite a few Humpty Dumpty types among the Socialist-Democrat majority in the US Congress, and especially, in BO’s administration. These anti-First Amendment miscreants are anti-American and dangerous; in Washington’s time, they would be considered traitors.
Stop the Marxist bastards.
