Mark Lloyd is Obama's newly cooked-up "diversity Czar" for the FCC.
Lloyd openly praises the "democratic revolution" of Chavez and the tactics of Saul Alinksy. He worked at the Center for American Progress (Soros group) and wrote a report about how to attack Talk Radio (he openly hates Limbaugh) using weaponized "diversity" mandates to force programming the markets reject (Air America) and to set up local hearing where "community organizations" have a say in licensing (if that sounds familiar it's how groups like ACORN were allowed to pressure local banks they wanted money from). Lloyd calls the process "ascertainment".
Lloyd on Chavez:
"In Venezuela, with Chavez, you really had an incredible revolution -- democratic revolution -- to begin to put in place things that were going to have impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled -- worked, frankly, with folks here in the US government -- worked to oust him. He came back and had another revolution, and Chavez then started to take the media very seriously in his country."
OK - since Chavez took control over opposition radio and TV stations you already can see we have another radical fruit-loop on our hands
Lloyd On Alinksy:
?Organizing people must be a priority. In order to counter effectively the power of major corporations we understood that we had to be able to demonstrate the support of hundreds of thousands of people. As Alinksy wrote: ?Change comes from power, and power comes from organization. In order to act, people must get together.?..
?Don?t wait for events to unfold on their own. Pressure, pressure, pressure. If we wanted events to work in a direction that would benefit us, we knew we needed to push. We needed to apply pressure and to direct that pressure not at the government, but through the government at our true opposition - the broadcasters. Alinsky again: ?The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain constant pressure upon the opposition.?
On this link there are other Alinsky Tactics Lloyd approves of: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/53055
Lloyd basically rejects the idea that the radio stations are producing what the market wants because he thinks the markets are structurally flawed. Of course he wants the government to manage the markets now and correct inequalities. He wants to fine commercial stations and force them to fund public radio
Lloyd wrote in July 2007:
"The Center for American Progress late last month published a widely read report titled ?The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio.? That report demonstrated the failure of the supposed ?free market? regulation of the U.S. radio industry to address the public-interest needs of listeners. Our analysis revealed that conservative talk radio dominates the airwaves of our country - to the detriment of informed public discourse and the First Amendment.
So you have a Chavez admirer using a Soros group "report" that has highlighted a "failure" of the free market - hummm do tell? I wonder what his excuse is for Fox TV dominating all the competition? I also haven't heard any complaint about the MSM being echo chamber for Obama.
Lloyd says that as radio media corporations grew they could ignore local markets, and could renew licenses too easily. Lloyd said ?The civil rights agenda has given way to the agenda of the commercial market(lol). The work of the civil rights community has suffered through a sustained assault by the right. The core of that assault is to deny funding to civil rights work, silence liberal voices, and set the agenda of public debate by an opposition that is better funded, more organized, and more savvy about strategic communications...
We trace the rise and influence of Rush and other conservative radio hosts to relaxed ownership rules and other pro-big business regulation that destroyed localism...
Simply reinstating the Fairness Doctrine will do little to address the gap between conservative and progressive talk unless the underlying elements of the public trustee doctrine are enforced, in particular, the requirements of local accountability and the reasonable airing of important matters.?
Lloyd wants to pressure broadcasters to follow rules for content, minority quotas and making licensing subject to reviews from local pressure groups (ACORN etc). If broadcasters don't follow the rules he wants them to be fined for 100% of their operating budget for a year.
Of course liberal shows don't sell and no radio station will risk huge fines keeping the conservatives that do sell so stations will go to other formats - as intended by Lloyd.
Seton Motley, director of communications for the Media Research Center, said Lloyd instructed liberals to file complaints against conservative stations in "Forget the Fairness Doctrine."
"What he lays out is a battle plan to use the FCC to threaten stations' licenses with whom they do not agree with politically, and now he's at the FCC waiting to take their calls," Motley told FOXNews.com. "This is not about serving the local interest, it's about political opposition."
"You read his essay and he's incessantly attacked Rush Limbaugh," Motley said. "He doesn't like conservative talk -- and now he's an official at the weapon to shut down conservative talk radio."
Of course in typical fashion Obama pretends to be aloof. Obama says doesn't want to damage CIA with investigations but Holder "makes his own call". Obama says he doesn't want the Fairness Doctrine back but he appoints another angry Marxist maniac who has long record of wanting to silence debate and transfer wealth.
Just another Harpoon from President Ahab as he stalks free markets and free speech.
Keep In Mind, Obama's appointee to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (Cass Sunstein) has written extensively about stopping rumors and falsehoods on the internet - including removal of comments from blogs and news sites. Forget free markets - free speech (and posting I could guess)is headed down the potty real soon. The bats are in the belfry with no opposition.
