The End of Free Speech

Once again, dear friends, into the fray!
So you think Obumble has no designs on killing dissent?

Here's a snip from a PDF I received via email today:
[quote]As evidenced by its open war against Fox News and conservative talk radio, the Obama administration clearly views its critics in the media as major obstacles to President Barack Obama’s plan to fundamentally transform America. The recent release of the Federal Trade Commission’s working paper on “reinventing journalism” makes it clear that the most polarizing president ever intends to federalize the news industry, just as he has done with autos, banking and health care. Language in the FTC document reveals the clear intent to transform the news industry from an information product provided by privately-owned news organizations into a government-regulated public utility that serves the “public good”, as defined solely by government. If implemented, the FTC plan would effectively nullify key portions of the First Amendment by giving government the power to prohibit reporting by any media source that criticizes its policies.
The First Amendment: Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, or of the press.
Obama’s FCC also working on plans to crackdown on opposition media
Mark Lloyd, Chief Diversity Officer at the Federal Communications Commission, has spoken with deep admiration of the “incredible revolution” that led to Hugo Chavez seizing iron-fisted control of Venezuela. An important step taken by the communist strongman to consolidate power was shutting down the country’s opposition media. Under Mark Lloyd direction, the FCC is working on plans to hit conservative broadcasters who don’t meet the agency’s politi-cally-malleable “diversity” and “localism” guidelines with massive monetary fines that would effectively drive them out of business.

In actuality, Obumble might as well nationalize journalism. 95% of the media already complies with his demands.

Hey, fellow writers! What you're doing is called, "Gutless writing".
I'd call it "cowardly collectivism"!
