FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting
Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.He is taking us backwards in race relations, putting an emphasis on race and ratios in employment. So much for getting along.
He hails Hugo Chavez – the one who shut down any opposing TV stations and rules as a dictator. He’s the role model?
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a non-profit entity that was created by Congress and that currently receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal subsidies each year. In fiscal 2009, it is receiving an appropriation of $400 million.
“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) must be reformed along democratic lines and funded on a substantial level,” Lloyd wrote in his book.
“Federal and regional broadcast operations and local stations should be funded at levels commensurate with or above those spending levels at which commercial operations are funded,” Lloyd wrote. “This funding should come from license fees charged to commercial broadcasters. Funding should not come from congressional appropriations. Sponsorship should be prohibited at all public broadcasters.”
Along with this money, Lloyd would regulate much of the programming on these stations to make sure they focused on “diverse views” and government activities.Translation: censorship
“Local public broadcasters and regional and national communications operations should be required to encourage (aka FORCED) and broadcast diverse views and programs,” wrote Lloyd. “These programs should include coverage of all local, state and federal government meetings, as well as daily news and public issues programming.
“In addition, educational programs for children and adults, and diverse, independent personal and cultural expression should be encouraged,” he wrote.
He wants to shut down radio he does not like. Heck, he’s eyeing the Internet as his next target.
We are about to lose our right to free speech. Leave my radio and Internet alone.
From someone who lived under both facism and communism: This country is being taken over by communists and will become a communist country.
Shine the light on them and thery will scurry like the cockroaches they are.
