Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), third-ranking Democrat in Congress, wants legislation enforcing balanced media coverage: reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. This will require conservative media to simultaneously present the liberal point of view. Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) is looking at legislative "ways to better police language on the airwaves."
Most threateningly, Rep. Robert Brady (D-PA) is crafting a bill which will give members of Congress special protection from criticism. Then it will be not just homosexuals and racial minorities with special rights and privileges, but also beleaguered Democrats.
The news media is off the rails and the official propaganda machine of the Obama administration.
To discuss ethics of the propagandist media is laughable.
The internet has screwed the print and news media as each individual is their own media distribution sysytem. Thus print media is suffering as is cable and network news except for FOX. In reality magazines like Time and the NYTimes were simply distribution centers who pick and choose based on publishers' bias. A little bias is fine and competative but over the line favoritism under the guise of objectivity has now become classic propaganda.
The dems have a lock on cencorship.
During Obama's campaign his handlers threatened to prosecute anyone who lied about Obama.
After election, Obama admin asked people to report anyone who opposed Obamacare to the whitehouse website.
Hanging a Mao Xmas ornamnet on the WH Xmas tree is indicative of an administration that has more on its agenda than it is telling.

I'm trying to figure out who whines more: Obama supporters or Ron Paul supporters. Tough call.
Ron Paul. They are few...but rabid. Have you read this forum?
