And yes, this belongs in Politics, it's about POLITICS.
Why do they want to do this? Democrats know the 1st Amendment is their biggest enemy. It was the biggest enemy of the Nazis, of Stalin, of Mao, of Castro. All despots hate the freedom of speech. It's their biggest enemy.
They MUST have ONLY side of things broadcast.
And Drudge has been following the ebola crisis closely and wouldn't Democrats like to shut that up.

Here we go. Democrats know they are losing power and it's coming from a FREE PRESS, A FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
They don't care, they have to stop that.
They tried to do the same thing with Rush and they keep trying.
Liberals like to pretend they are all for rights and freedom, but the opposite is the case. They hate freedom because freedom includes the freedom to NOT be liberal, not vote for liberals, and not support liberal causes.
THEY DON'T LIKE THAT and they are willing to do anything to stop that.
They will lie, they will defraud the vote, and they will stop anyone from getting the truth out.
We are going to have to yell our heads of about this, Call our Congressman and let Dems know they can't get away with this, otherwise they will.
Freedom's biggest enemy is a populace asleep at the switch.

In a surprise [Surprise MY ASS] move late Friday, a key Democrat on the Federal Election Commission called for burdensome new rules on Internet-based campaigning, prompting the Republican chairman to warn that Democrats want to regulate online political sites and even news medialike the Drudge Report.
Democratic FEC Vice Chair Ann M. Ravel announced plans to begin the process to win regulations on Internet-based campaigns and videos, currently free from most of the FEC’s rules. “A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long over due,” she said.
The power play followed a deadlocked 3-3 vote on whether an Ohio anti-President Obama Internet campaign featuring two videos violated FEC rules when it did not report its finances or offer a disclosure on the ads. The ads were placed for free on YouTube and were not paid advertising.
Under a 2006 FEC rule, free political videos and advocacy sites have been free of regulation in a bid to boost voter participation in politics. Only Internet videos that are placed for a fee on websites, such as the Washington Examiner, are regulated just like normal TV ads.
Ravel’s statement suggests that she would regulate right-leaning groups like America Risingthat posts anti-Democrat YouTube videos on its website.
FEC Chairman Lee E. Goodman, a Republican, said if regulation extends that far, then anybody who writes a political blog, runs a politically active news site or even chat room could be regulated. He added that funny internet campaigns like “Obama Girl,” and “Jib Jab” would also face regulations.
“I told you this was coming,” he told Secrets. Earlier this year he warned that Democrats on the panel were gunning for conservative Internet sites like the Drudge Report.
