We know that he wants to eliminate conservative talk radio shows and news networks, like Fox, if in fact there are any others like Fox, which are critical of Mr. Obama or his policies. He blames corporate interests in Venezula for contolling the media and almost preventing the "incredible revolution" there. He is opposed to any private ownership of the media. He has proposed taxing

private media at 100% of their operating expenses which would be turned over to "minority interests", and if they can't afford to pay this outrageous tax, they would lose their license to broadcast.

Taking over total control of America's media in the name of competition? I guess Mr. Obama feels the same way about health care.

We need to take a close look at the background and the writings of Mr. Mark Lloyd, he is Obama's man in the FCC and he answers to no one but Obama.

Recently it was reported that the is a bill pending in Congress that would give the President the authority to seize control of the Internet in times of "national emergency". And today, it was announced that Mr. Obama intends to make a speech to all school children in the U.S. — in their class rooms. He is planting "seed corn", showing all the kids what a nice guy he is, who shouldn't be feared. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I'm picking up a definite pattern here. He's attempting to do the same thing Bill (the bomber) Ayers is doing, spreading the message of the left, through our educators and our schools. This is something that both Obama and Ayers learned in Saul Alinsky's book, Rules For Radicles".

This power grab is not as apparent as the take over of the banks, the auto companies and the attempted takeover of health care. But make no mistake, his attempt to control communications and the media as a means to stifle criticism and dissent is even more insideous and dangerous to our freedom than anything he has done so far.

We need to shine the light of day on all of Mr. Obama's czars. We need to know something about these people and what they are doing and what they are proposing. I, for one, am glad that Glen Beck has brought some of Mark Lloyd's background to light. From the little I've heard, I don't like him at all and certainly don't want him in a position to exert any control over the FCC.

This man, Mr. Obama, has 36 of these people in key positions, they don't answer to Congress and have tremendous influence and power, and we have no idea of what they are doing.

BTW, "diversity", like so many things, is in the eye of the beholder, often a matter of degree. How does anybody propose to define, implement, or enforce it?!

Also BTW, wouldn't that force this "New Emperor of Diversity" to require all PB channels from time to time to run stupid, raucous, debased, even lewd and downright "filthy" shows, in the "interest of diversity"? After all, such as myself out here, who "just love swill and slime", have also "paid into the system". We, too, "have rights, you know"?! We don't? Oh!

Or is, once again, somebody from this administration "just doing the best he can from the 'richness of their experience'" ?!

After all, the "Fairness Doctrine" is already a violation of individual constitutional rights, unfortunately of long standing. Instead of ditching it, they're adding another! When will somebody point out to these morons that you can't make things fairer by adding unfairness ?!?

Rockefeller is the sponsor of S.773 and I saw him on you-tube some time ago stating that the internet should never have been permitted in private sector.

Methinks you give the populace way too much credit…

The original "Tea Party" in a harbor is a memorable testament to law-abiding protest to threats to our independence. And now the threat of government seizure and control of free speech on radio and in other media – Constitutionally protected in America – has been quietly "floated" in Washington.

Congressional leaders would be wise to cultivate a sincere enjoyment of tea, and a respectful appreciation of "Astroturf."
