Do You Value Free Speech? FCC 'Diversity Chief' Doesn't

Mark Lloyd thinks government should control the airwaves. He's a non-apologetic communist, and as a 'czar' is not answerable to anyone but Obama. He wants to break the country into eight regions to control broadcast content. “Clear federal regulations over commercial broadcast and cable programs regarding political advertising and commentary, educational programming for children, the number of commercials, ratings information about programs before they are broadcast, and the accessibility of services to the disabled should be established and widely promoted.” He wants up to 100% of commercial broadcast operating costs to go the FCC, and they will monitor and decide who and what gets said. His full plan, quoting from communist revolutionary Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals', he set forth in his 2006 book, “Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America” (University of Illinois Press). His full program to control media you can read here. [Note"before they are broadcast".]

Lloyd: “It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press.” “This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.”

“[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance,” said Lloyd. “[T]he problem is not only the warp to our public philosophy of free speech, but that the government has abandoned its role of advancing the communications capabilities of real people.”

"In Venezuela, with Chavez, really an incredible revolution — a democratic revolution — to begin to put in place saying that we're going to have impact on the people of Venezuela the property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled — work frankly with folks here in the U.S. government worked to oust him and came back and had another revolution. And Chavez then started to take the media very seriously in this country."
