FCC Commissioner Michael Copps Calls for Government Control of News: "
To learn what our bureaucrat rulers really think, listen in as they sound off in Britain, where they feel themselves to be among fellow socialists. Here's FCC Commissioner Michael Copps calling for more government control of the news:
Partial transcript via The Right Scoop:
We are not producing the body of news and information that democracy needs to conduct its civic dialogue. We are not producing as much news as we did 5 years, 10 years, 15 years ago. We have to reverse that trend or I think we are going to be pretty close to be denying our citizens the essential news and information that they need to have in order to make intelligent decisions about the future direction of their country.
In light of the rise of Fox News, talk radio, and the Internet, it is absurd to say we have less news. Once there were only a handful of news sources; now the sources are countless. Copps's concern is that there is too much news that is not firmly controlled by those sharing his statist ideology.
Micromanagement of the dissemination of information by doubletalking sanctimonious control freaks like this damp rag of a man is not even remotely consistent with the principles are country was founded on.
