Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its "Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs," or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run. A field test in Columbia, S.C., is scheduled to begin this spring.

It's real and any REAL liberal would be up in arms over it. Obama sycophants, not so much.
You place government agents in a newsroom and the government changes to republicans and you would be alarmed.
There are some honest liberals left out there who are on this issue. Not many, but a few. -
This is the kind of stuff you would expect from the old Soviet Union, not America.

So I'm assuming that you are buying the rationale of the FCC to invade newsrooms?
I mean... I for one can certainly see how telling newscasters what to report will make it easier for small entrepreneurs to enter the broadcast business. -

This study has been proposed for almost a year and it's only news now? No way in hell that the FCC who controls broadcast licensing should be running a study like this.
Doesn't matter what your politics are, this is a terrible idea from the same people that introduced the "Fairness Doctrine" in the 1940's

You need to learn the difference. -
The Fairness Doctrine was in place for 38 years. Enlighten us as to how the country fell apart during those years.salemcoog said:Fire_Marshall_Bill said:How about they scrap what the article describes and bring back this?

This fucker is really exposing the real weakness of American 'democracy.' Adolf Hitler could have peaceably taken over America in its current state easier than he peaceably took over Deutschland.

Is it your claim that some side of any issue doesn't have numerous outlets to be heard? Because the it wrong.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
