Pelosi Would Muzzle Talk Radio

By Dick Morris - 03/06/09 05:23 AM ET
Just as Eileen McGann and I predicted in our book, Fleeced, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pushing an amendment in Congress that would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to “take actions to encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership and to ensure that broadcast station licenses are used in the public interest," according to CBS news.

This measure is far more dangerous than the Fairness Doctrine, since it goes not only to programming but to the personnel a station employs, the members of its board and its ownership structure. Pelosi is trying not to muzzle talk radio but to take it over!

Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant, i.e., 300 more points down on the DOW. These Democrats abhor Freedom of Speech and love to create dictatorships. You gotta love it if you're a commie like me!BY Bill Hussein O'Stalin on 03/06/2009 at 10:25
#1, What does the dow have to do with the democrats? Like the Germans blamed their poverty on the jews, the republicans are trying to blame the last 8 years on the democrats.BY Yvonne on 03/06/2009 at 10:49
What's the difference between a jet engine and [***] Morris?

After awhile, the jet engine stops whining!

#2: Ask Chris Matthews, one of Obama's biggest supporters. He claims the Dow is Obama's scoreboard.

Celebrate excellence, screw diversity. We already have one diversity in the Oval Office screwing up American economic system he didn't help create.BY Bzdashek on 03/06/2009 at 12:15
Who needs free speech when Soc_ialism is the only true ideology? Reagan, who of course invented free speech is dead, and as we know Obama has rejected Reaganism, so there you go.BY jerry on 03/06/2009 at 12:36
Another speech by Obama, another down Dow day. It's an amazing corollary.BY Bill Hussein O'Stalin on 03/06/2009 at 12:56
Can someone put a basketball hoop at the White House to get him away from day-to-day stuff and shut him up? Put that damn hoop and let our 401Ks rebound.BY Cucumber on 03/06/2009 at 13:22
Wow. President Obama has been in the White House less than eight weeks and is being blamed for everything. Eight YEARS of Bush screwing with our economy and the federal budget and it is STONY silence from the right.
The right-wing whining is getting old. Lead by Rush Whinebaugh, of course.
