The Main Stream Media and the FCC

So what was the big story last night and this morning in the Main Stream Media? Well, while researching for Thursday's commentary, I saw articles about Justin Timberlake, Bruce and Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Bigfoot. There were also more serious articles about Ukraine, shoe bombing issues and Pakistani air strikes.
Nowhere in the “LAME” Stream Media was there any mention of the threat by an agency of the US government to the existence of a free press. Yes, the FCC, the agency of the government which grants licenses to TV and radio stations, now wants to see how production and the decision making process is determined over the content of the news we see and hear each day.
The only place I saw any mention of this police action by the government invading the independence of the media was on the Fox News Channel. You know that channel, the one that the “President of the United States” finds repulsive because it holds the President and his stooges accountable for their blatant and obvious abuse of the Constitution. While the LSM carries his water and kisses his butt like he is some sort of god-like character, better known as “Obama Syndrome”.
Here is the story from the only responsible news organization which had the guts to tell the story, Fox News.
Apparently, this is another overreach by the government to restrict our freedoms guaranteed us by the Bill Of Rights. We have already seen abuse by this administration

with other actions against the First Amendment by forcing religious organizations to comply with “Obamacare” forcing religious entities to comply with birth control and abortion issues. 
It has also violated the Second Amendment with its release of personal information concerning the registration of licensed gun owners, the Fourth Amendment with the IRS and NSA scandals, and the Sixth Amendment with the delay of trials of CIA officers accused of crimes regarding the treatment of terrorists in Gitmo.
Yet the media remains silent. Are the executives afraid that by saying something against this government there will be repercussions against their news or broadcast
organizations? I would say it certainly appears to be.
I congratulate Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch and the Fox News reporters, for exposing this abuse of power by this Administration. Remember, the FCC is an agency under the Executive Branch of government. If Ed Henry or any other White House correspondent asks the buffoon, Jay Carney, about this and he tries to spin it, watch
him squirm and try to cover up. His dance is getting old. If the FCC is trying to do this police action, you can be sure the President knows it and probably is directing it.
After all, this is the President who has dared the Congress to impeach him as he announced in the SOTU and subsequently in radio addresses and speeches that he is going to push through his agenda without the consent of the Congress.
Way to go MSM! Thanks for not reporting, as usual, this latest power grab by this Administration but letting us know that Kim Khardashian dyed her hair like Beyoncé.
Journalism 101 at its best!
