Their machine tried to destroy Sarah Palin, not!
They are afraid of her and us Conservatives.

Never underestimate the backbone of America.

I understand that they are going to attack the ownership of these companies, profitable companies.
Problem is, they make too much money, money that can be channeled to the government coffers. and they are going to attempt to take it thru “policy”.

The other problem that the libs have is that their numbers are receding. What, you mean people are starting to pay attention to Washington ?

“Moderation” is in the eye of the beholder. Since every liberal talk radio program has failed miserably (unless George Soros keeps pumping in millions to keep the rickety dinghy afloat), the obvious intended target is conservative radio and religious programming. Only radio falls under this new umbrella… and that’s because there is growing strength (and hugely growing listenership) in those who opine conservative principles and denounce socialism. Many liberals who have started listening suddenly realize the sham of statism/liberalism, and are turning away from the empty promises and mammoth government that is always the offspring of such ideologies. These programs survive because of supply and demand, economic principles that made our nation great. No government handouts, no government endorsements. All conservative radio stations also have taken Republicans to task… just read the archives on any of them about their dissatisfaction or shock over things Republicans have done. Where is the outrage or even mild dissent about ANYTHING Obama has done? The media, for the most part, is still in lock-step like robots, like the Stepford Wives. Scary and creepy.

The FCC and “diversity czar” need to be watched by us all. Not just conservatives… freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by our Constitution to ALL. Liberal columnists and MSM will not be held accountable for the attacks, lies, and hate they’ve spewed against Sarah Palin, Carrie Prejean, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, and other moderates and conservatives. It will be a one-way street, and conservatives, if complacent and silent, will be run over by the BHO bus. Hate speech accusations will be directed at those who oppose the government, much like that which goes on in Cuba, Venezuela, the old USSR. Tyranny.

The FCC and the “diversity czar” are both funded by taxpayer dollars, but appear that they will only serve those who share the opinions and agendas of the White House. I’ve been watching the “media diversity” panel since its inception soon after BHO’s inauguration. Not a single conservative is on the panel. Where’s the diversity? The back door method that will be used to silence conservative opinions won’t be as blatant as the previous Fairness Doctrine. It will be through radio station ownership, mandating that government-selected minorities be in charge. At least, that’s how it was presented some months ago. It may have been altered, now that the climate of the country has been taking a more vocal “right turn.”

We need to be watchful and not let the government stranglehold and squash dissension/differing viewpoints. Protection of free speech on radio is one of the only arenas for conservative thought to be expressed. National TV news (except FOX) and newspapers are all in this administration’s hip pocket.

MM’s book is fantastically informative, I’m reading it now.

Heard the radio say this morning that there is now a “diversity czar” aligned with the FCC to promote moderation of broadcast content. Always the freaking deception,
and misdirection.
Any fines for non-compliance will be awarded to NPR.

Vicki,… anything to this ?

Great Post as always !

Several sites that I’ve used to convert/save YouTube videos to my hard drive. They need to be converted from flv format that YouTube uses to avi (can also be converted to a few other formats):
http://vixy.net
http://www.zamzar.com

Vixy.net is usually busy through the day, but I’ve had luck early mornings or late evenings. The connection breaks often (at least for me), so patience is a virtue. Zamzar.com is kinda weird (emails the finished video to you, and there are time limits).

There are several others out there that do a good job, but these are the ones I’ve used. To check out others, type “flv converter” in the Google or Yahoo search engine field. Don’t pay for the service… there are plenty of free ones out in Cyberland that will do the job.

Hope that helps!

I remember watching this stuff last year on Fox but I want to keep them forever.
