FCC Plan For Newsroom Monitors Sparks Constitutional Concern

by JASmius

Ya think?



The reason we're talking about it now is that the Obamedia failed to completely embargo the ObamaCare rollout disaster, in my august opinion.  Remember how I said at the time that TV, radio, and print outlets had no practical choice but to cover the story, however grudgingly, because it was impacting too many Americans - i.e. the blizzard of millions of policy cancellation letters - for the press to ignore (which was also the reason why the "defund caucus" erred by forcing a government shutdown too soon, but I digress....)?  This is the Regime telling their propaganda arm, "You erred by covering it at all, and since you've proven so unreliable, we're sending in 'political observers' to help remind you of where your true duty lies."

Yes, also including reviving global warming panic-mongering, "rich"-demonizing, Christophobic persecution, and promotion of the rest of King Hussein's "transformative" agenda.

Makes one wonder whether any eyes will open at the networks, New York Times, WaPo, etc.  One would be hard-pressed to picture a more blatant First Amendment wake-up call that didn't include automatic weapons.  And for the Regime, it is, indeed, a gamble - alienate False Messiah's greatest ally, the bunch that more than any other wing of the Left put his spindly ass into power, and he's finished.  If, however, not, if they feel chastened instead, then I guess they can all utter the magic words: "We are all MSNBCCCP now."

It'll be fascinating to see how this confrontation - for there's no other word for it - plays out.  If only in a gallows sort of way.
