CNSNews.com) – Mark Lloyd, chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), called for a “confrontational movement” to combat what he claimed was control of the media by international corporations and to re-establish the regulatory power of government through robust public broadcasting and a more powerful FCC.

Lloyd expressed his regulatory call to arms in his 2006 book, “Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America” (University of Illinois Press).
Quote:
Frequently referencing one of his heroes, left-wing activist Saul Alinsky, Lloyd claims in his book that the history of American communications policy has been one of continued corporate control of every form of communication from the telegraph to the Internet.

This is another Obama hand-picked Czar who is pushing censorship.

Mark Lloyd has said "freedom of speech is a distraction" and wants to set up boards to regulate political advertising and commentary before the public is allowed to hear it.

Obama and his minions want only to silence dissent and free speech and do away with public ownership.

He needs to be impeached based on his failure to live up to his oath of office. Not once has he defended or made any attempt to uphold the Constitution.

Its all about implementing social justice.

Lloyd is just really upset that the brand new technology of the telegraph was given over to the private sector, while the archaic post office was to be run by the government.

What is with this "inspired by Saul Alinsky" stuff? Conservatives have been inspired by Saul Alinsky, too. Is it that his name itself has a leftist ring to it? Saul, even though it's biblical, it's one of those Old Testament names, gotta be careful round those. And any name that ends with ski, sky, ska, etc, very suspect. Heads up, people. There are radicals on the right that read Saul Alinsky, too.

You have GOT to be kidding me! Are you blind? Are you deaf? Are you naive? Definitely. Lloyd praises what happened in Venezuela. You, sir/ma'am, are delusional. Tell me, what social justice are you referring to?

Yes, American, freedom, capitalism, unalienable rights. I know that upsets those who support Obama and his Socialist and Fascists friends and Czars. That's OK, I would rather be known for defending the American form of gubmint than dismantling it.

Thank you for noticing.

Find me a right winger who quotes Alinsky. Find me one, just one. They do not exist.
