YES! First sentence of 7th paragraph! AGAIN, Fox News is DANGEROUS INFORMATION. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/nov/12/fox-news-obama-administration Since few are challenging this notion of DANGEROUS information, I predict Obama will score a third round KO over the FIRST AMENDMENT (a win within 3 months of the start of this battle), AND DANCE ON ITS GRAVE.
Rightfully labeling Fox News as a propaganda rag is not censorship... This has zero to do with the first amendment...
Obama wants a "kill switch" for the internet, has tried to constrain Fox News, and now has succeeded in censoring this book on his extramarital affairs. I told you, Obama will win his war on the First Amendment and dance on its grave! (But it's not for him - it's for you, "democracy", and the good of all Americans). Published June 16, 2010 On June 15, 2010, exactly one year to the day that Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder? was published, our distributor notified Sinclair Publishing, Inc that the book "...has been temporarily pulled from distribution." Ingram Content Group was served with an identical civil complaint by Daniel Parisi and Patton Boggs LLP on June 10, 2010. The Cease & Desist letter of the same date from Patton Boggs makes it clear counsel for the Plaintiff is using the same internet warriors that Paul Levy of Public Citizens Litigation Group used to attack and spread false claims.
I watched Mr. Obama last night giving his speech and was stunned to see him try to turn the gulf disaster into a tax raising opportunity. My God, we have a milquetoast vacatioholic President who is interested only in wealth redistribution by any means. I never thought I would see anyone give a poorer speech than Jimmy Carter but there it was on the big plasma. Sureal. We are in serious trouble folks. This guy is going to no-kidding try to destroy America. We elected the Manchurian candidate. Its my generation that is at fault. We destroyed the space program. Then we destroyed Wall Street. Now we are destroying the country. Don't trust anyone between 40 and 50. They'll ruin your life.
OBAMA VS. PRESS FREEDOM By DICK MORRIS "Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of Obama's Federal Trade Commission, is at the epicenter of a quiet movement to subsidize news organizations, a first step toward government control of the media. In our book, 2010: Take Back America -- A Battle Plan, we reported that he had commissioned a study to examine plans for a federal subsidy for news organizations. Among the measures under consideration are special tax treatment, exemption from antitrust laws and changes in copyright laws. Now Leibowitz has begun to pounce. A May 24 working paper on "reinventing" the media proposes that the government impose fees on websites such as the Drudge Report that link to news websites or that it tax consumer electronics such as iPads, laptops and Kindles. Funds raised by these levies would be redistributed to traditional media outlets. While Leibowitz distanced himself from the proposals for the taxes, calling them "a terrible idea," his comments appear to be related only to the levies proposed in the working paper. Nobody is commenting on the other part of his proposal -- a subsidy for news organizations. By now, the Obama MO should be clear to all. As he has done with the banks, AIG and the car companies, he extends his left hand offering subsidies and then proffers his right laden with regulations. Should the government follow through on Leibowitz's ideas and enact special subsidies and tax breaks for news organizations, it will induce a degree of journalistic dependence on the whims of government not seen since the days when the early presidents bestowed government advertising on favored periodicals. Is it too difficult to imagine that the Democrats might pass laws favoring news organizations, only to question -- as former White House communications director Anita Dunn did -- whether or not Fox News is a news organization or an "arm of the Republican Party"? We can see a future in which news media are reluctant to be too partisan or opinionated for fear that they would endanger their public subsidy. Once such a subsidy is extended to news organizations, every company in the business must have it. Otherwise, the competitive advantage for the subsidized companies would prove too steep an obstacle to overcome. In all the attention that has been given to the idea of an Internet tax on news aggregation sites and on tech equipment -- trial balloons that would obviously be shot down -- very little attention has been focused on the expenditure side of the proposal -- the subsidy of news organizations. But The Wall Street Journal reported six months ago that Leibowitz had commissioned a study to determine "whether the government should aid struggling news organizations which are suffering from a collapse in advertising revenues as the Internet upends their centuries-old business model." Among the steps under consideration are changing "the way the industry is regulated, from making news-gathering companies exempt from antitrust laws to granting them special tax treatment to making changes to copyright laws." These are exactly the kind of subsidies that could and would trigger government oversight and control. Look at how radio stations squirm when their licenses are up for renewal before the FCC. We can imagine news organizations pulling their punches in order not to antagonize the hand that feeds them. The Leibowitz study, and the subsidy proposals that are likely to emerge from it, represent a chilling threat to the First Amendment and to our civil liberties."
Fox News is the arm of Rupert Murdoch... ...and all he cares about is making money. Fox targets the audience that makes them the most money. Does Fox News have a responsibility to their viewers to truly be fair and balanced? Morally, yes. However, the media moguls are not about morality, they are about profit. So as long as Fox News is profitable with their twisted spin, nothing will change. Should the government do something about this? They should continue to fund public radio and public TV that offer a intelligent point of view, the same way we used to pay for Radio Free Europe and other media outlets that would combat the ignorant brainwashing media sources within and behind the iron curtain... Fox News appeal is to dimwits, dimwits who want to end public education in order to propagate the species of dimwits and assure their continued dumbing down of America...
Even Olbermann knows Obama Care sucks and that something more needs to be done the Gulf... both them. What is so intelligent about the way democrats have spent CA and the cities back east into destruction.
