Kudos to the 'Paul Revere of USMB': Mr. F!
More links folks should know about:
1. Net neutrality rules must be implemented while the government should quintuple federal funding for public and community broadcasting, argued Ben Scott, the State Departments recently appointed policy adviser for innovation.
2. Scott was writing last year in a radical magazine in an article co-authored by Robert W. McChesney (left), an avowed Marxist activist who has called for the dismantlement, brick-by-brick, of the U.S. capitalist system, with America being rebuilt as a socialist society.
3. McChesney is the founder of the George Soros-funded Free Press, which petitions for more government control of the Internet and news media.
4. Scott and McChesney also recommended the U.S. impose ownership limits on local radio, TV, and cable channels while pushing for more control of the media by the FCC.
5. In February 2009, McChesney wrote in a column, In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.
6. The board of Free Press has included a slew of radicals, such as Obamas former green jobs czar Van Jones, who resigned after it was exposed he founded a communist organization.
7. In May, Free Press published a study advocating the development of a world class government-run media system in the U.S.
8. Free Press has ties to other members of the Obama administration:
Obamas Internet czar, Susan P. Crawford, spoke at a Free Presss May 14, 2009, Changing Media summit in Washington, D.C.
Crawfords pet project, OneWebNow, lists as participating organizations Free Press and the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Crawford and Kevin Werbach, who co-directed the Obama transition teams Federal Communications Commission Review team, are advisory board members at Public Knowledge, a George Soros-funded public interest group.
A Public Knowledge advisory board member is Timothy Wu, who is also chairman of the board for Free Press.
Like Public Knowledge, Free Press also has received funds from Soros Open Society Institute.
Klein: Look who wants to quintuple funding for government media. State adviser, Marxist also want more FCC control of airwaves RBO
Ooooohhhh, another major conspiracy brewing to take over all media. Uh huh... I wonder why the right wasn't complaining when some _______ist advisor to George Bush tried to feed news to al Jazeera to make it appear the U.S. were such good guys in Iraq, or allow the FCC under Republican control to approve a monopoly by News Corps to own and operate all Clear Channel airwaves, or even to attempt to censure scientific data. Where was the outrage then?
Can I assume that your post was an admission that you found no errors in my post, the post to which you are ostensibly replying?
And, while the facts listed pose no problem for the left, for you, can you understand that freedom loving, anti-censorship, free-market folks may object to:
1. the government 'should quintuple' federal funding for public and community broadcasting, or any such funding
2. the dismantlement, brick-by-brick, of the U.S. capitalist system, with America being rebuilt as a socialist society
3. an unbalanced and undue influence by George Soros-funded Free Press founder...
4. more control of the media by the FCC, control meaning censorship
5. undue access to government officials by an organization that is inimical to a free-market socieety, ACORN.
6. and undue access to the government by board members at Public Knowledge, a George Soros-funded public interest group.
I have no doubt you see the point.
No, you're simply reaching into your vast repertoire of information that you THINK implies the country is becoming a commie nation. You really do need to expand your reference points, because for every one you make, counterpoints are always available. However, neither I (nor anyone else except on a rare occasion) has the time that you seem to have to do such heavy and rather unimportant research just to confirm that your opinions are consistently lop-sided.
George Soros is not the enemy, Fox Fanatics. I do think it's sad that even YOU, who likes to think she is above all the chatter, gets sucked into their daily rants about Soros to the point where you too suffer from severe gullible-itis.
