Just another sign that the United States of America has turned into a police state.

Quote:

Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its "Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs," or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run. A field test in Columbia, S.C., is scheduled to begin this spring.

Who controls it and where and when are the meetings held to decide what will be reported? Just asking.

Well , i know for a fact in a particular town here in NJ , the mayor controls what goes out on TV.

As far as national news , im sure your big boy leaders control that. As for meetings and all that, dunno the answer to that lol .

The news has been controlled to a certain extent for quite awhile.

News is a business. If nobody is paying attention to a story why should they cover it?
