This new regulation is supposedly about band width and fees. And if you think obama is just concerned about that then yo just want the government to take care of you cradle to the grave.

This has a lot to do with stiffing the first amendment. The progressives have been trying to do that for years.The one thing they hate is when Reagan removed the (so called) fairness doctrine. And there are plenty of progressives that want that back. That have said so already.


I said what I said in the previous post to show that oabma ears (or better name would be the head ass wipe) is nationalizing America. And if you think your safe LOL LOL LOL Let me knbow how that works out for ya?

 

Yeah...God forbid we should do anything to prevent corporate America from feeding us a steady diet of Rush Limbaugh.

 

Yea that would suck is katie curic actually had a Republican siting next to her wouldn't it.

The alphabet news is liberal, where is the balance there??? There is non. But that makes progressives happy so no one hears anything other then mental illness from the left.

And keep in mind a lot of leftists are coming out as communists and not hiding now. Boy that makes you progressives proud huh.

 

Hmmmmm, you listen to Limbaugh? Who'd a thunk it?

If you are not listening to him, then I guess they have failed, right?

 

I can understand that from where you sit, the whole world looks like a bunch of commies. Your reality, however, is badly skewed.

 

They can fill the AM radio dial with him, but they haven't yet figured out how to force me to listen to it.

Will you still be happy when one corporation owns all the radio stations? Won't that constitute a monopoly like any other monopoly?

 

What is broadcast radio? Do you still listen to it? It has gone the way of broadcast TV, so little content is home grown that it is almost irrelevant.

My point in my reply before was that in any one market, there is but one radio station airing any one personality, Limbaugh included. How does that equal corporate America feeding you a steady diet of him?

Honestly Kimi, you are over reacting in the fashion of your recently self-muted buddy.

 

You're kidding, right? I can twist the dial on my car radio and get five stations with Limbaugh spouting his racist, sexist drivel.

 

Must be that "they" think there is more need of it in the land of fruits and nuts.

Nashville has one station, an AM one at that, that carries Limbaugh and the Fox trotters. There is one FM station that used to carry more Becks, Savages and the like, but even they have reduced the number of right wing hosts. And this is a conservative market, go figure.

 

OK can you name one Conservative on NPR?? And Jaun Williams is not a Consecutive. Even though they got rid of him and not the others that have made comments about GW and others.

 

FWIW

The best intervention is NO Governmeent intervention:

The Federal Communications Communication approved net neutrality regulations 3-2 on Tuesday, but these rules are likely to face challenges from a new Congress.
Earlier this month, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski proposed a vote on an open Internet framework. The biggest item is that the rules would bar carriers from discriminating against legal Internet traffic. The catch is that providers could charge more to companies that want faster service for games, videos and other bandwidth intensive content.
In an open meeting, Genachowski said that open Internet rules are the first to protect basic values. There are no regulations today. “We’re told by some to not try and fix what’s not broken. Countless innovators and investors say just the opposite. We’ve heard from so many entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and CEOs and their message is clear: The next decade of innovation is at risk without basic rules of the road,” he said. “Our action will strengthen Internet job creation and ensure Internet freedom at home and around the world.”
This framework breaks down like this:

• Consumers will have a transparent view into how networks are being managed. This information will allow consumers to make a decision on whether to subscribe or use a particular broadband network.
• Consumers and innovators “have a right to send and receive lawful Internet traffic — to go where they want and say what they want online, and to use the devices of their choice.” Blocking legal content, apps, devices and services is prohibited.
• No central authority should be able to pick winners or losers by discriminating against “lawful network traffic.”
• Meanwhile, broadband providers should have the “meaningful flexibility” to manage their networks. These providers should also have incentives—ie profit potential—to build out networks.

FCC commissioner Michael Copps said that a vote for the net neutrality rules was one for free speech and innovation. “Previous telecommunications technologies also preached openness and then fell under consolidated control,” said Copps, who railed against “entrenched interests.” Copps said the FCC’s net neutrality framework didn’t go far enough, but he’d vote for it so the gears of an open Internet wouldn’t halt. Some provisions may need “repaving.” Commissioner Mignon Clyburn supported the framework, but wanted wireless included. Genachowski argued that wireless broadband is too nascent to be included in the framework.
Commissioner Robert McDowell said he “strongly disagrees with this order.” McDowell said the FCC can’t make laws and Congress is going to shut down the net neutrality framework. In other words, there’s a legislative collision course on tap. He called the vote “the FCC’s darkest day” and courts will sink the framework.
Meredith Attwell Baker, another FCC commissioner, sided with McDowell. She said that the FCC is messing with the one part of the economy that’s working. Baker argued that consumers won’t benefit and regulators are overreaching without evidence of wrongdoing. The FCC won’t be successful as the Internet’s referee, she said. “The vote today is not the end of this debate,” said Baker.
Carriers such as Comcast have called Genachowski’s framework a workable compromise.
With the vote out of the way net neutrality becomes a political hot potato in Congress. The FCC wants to be the Internet traffic cop, but Congress has never really authorized it to take such a role. That debate will pick up with a new Congress in January.

 

A study a few years ago documented the fact that NPR programs rely more on conservative think tanks for their guests than they do liberal ones...by a pretty wide margin. In 2003, NPR was accused of supporting the Iraq War.

And I don't know what a "consecutive" is, but I agree with you that Juan Williams is not one.
