AND HERE IS THE RIGHT WING SMEAR:FCC Official Says He's Not Carrying Out 'Secret Plot Funded by George Soros to Get Rid of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck'
Monday, December 14, 2009
Mark Lloyd, the chief diversity officer and associate counsel at the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), says he is not carrying out a "secret plot funded by George Soros" aimed at getting rid of
conservative talk-show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
Lloyd, the keynote speaker at a Monday forum sponsored by the Media
Access Project (MAP), also said that there was a "right-wing smear
campaign" against him.
"I am not a Czar appointed by President Obama," said Lloyd. "I am not
at the FCC to restore the Fairness Doctrine through the front door or
the back door, or to carry out a secret plot funded by George Soros to
get rid of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or any other conservative talk
show host. I am not at the FCC to remove anybody, whatever their color,
from power. I am not a supporter of Hugo Chavez. The right wing smear
campaign has been, in a word, incredible, generating hate mail and
death threats. It is the price we pay for freedom of speech. And I do
support free speech."
Soros is a billionaire liberal philanthropist and Chavez is the
socialist leader of Venezuela. The Fairness Doctrine was an FCC
regulation introduced in 1949 that said that if a broadcaster discussed
an issue of public controversy on the air it needed to present opposing
points of view on the issue. The rule effectively stifled vigorous
debate of public policy on the airwaves. The FCC stopped implementing
the rule in 1987.
Lloyd said the "right-wing smear campaign" against him involved outlets ranging from blogs to church groups.
Now we can agree or disagree about Beck's fear of Obama's 'army', but it's pretty hard to claim you are being smeared by your own words, live, on TV by yourself.
After all, what are you going to believe, Mark Lloyd the not czar, or your lying eyes and ears and Mark Lloyd and his clearly sincere, pre FCC, plea to his own people's cheers and approval.
Chalk it up.
Van Jones, Cass Sunnstein, his absurd wife, Jarrett, Wright, McPeak, Jennings, Ayers, all with one thing in common, One person. One philosophy.
In reality the apex of all that is ANTI-LIBERAL
SICK
OF
IT.
