1.) Do you really believe that the internet provides diversity?
2.) Do you know who Robert McChesney is?
I'm going to go with the assumption that YES, you do believe that the internet holds much diversity. I mean, you can find anything you want to.. different opinions, different thoughts.. you can find blogs that totally fit your mentality. Agree with something? Disagree with something? There are tons and tons and TONS of blogs and websites that fit your needs.
So lets move on to the second question. You may not know who Robert McChesney is so I'm going to impart a little knowledge on who this man is and what this man represents because he's trying to take everything away.
But first, let me offer some of his quotes:
Any serious effort to reform the media system would have to be necessarily part of a revolutionary program to overthrow the capitalist system itself.
Hmmm...
There is no real answer but to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself , rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.
Socialist principles? You mean a completely classless society where the government controls all means of production and distribution of goods? Because, you know, everybody needs to be on the same playing field right? Like "distribution of wealth?" Where have we heard THAT before? Hmm??
We need to do whatever we can to limit capitalist propaganda, regulate it, minimize it, perhaps even eliminate it.
Not to shy about expressing your true feelings, are you Bobby? Well, of course you aren't because that is your First Amendment Right. But like everything else I've been writing about today, YOU can say what YOU want but apparently I CAN'T.
So Bobby used to be the editor of The Monthly Review, an independent socialist magazine and co-founder of Free Press. It's webpage tagline is "Reform Media.. Transform Democracy".
Now, wouldn't you think that an organization named Free Press would want to promote, well.. FREE press? And wouldn't you think that the mission statement for an organization called FREE PRESS would be to make sure our first amendment right TO free speech would be protected??
You would think that, right? Especially since one of it's major donors is the Open Society Institute, George Soros' philanthropy arm. But that's another post for another time.
So we have an active socialist, co founding an organization with a misleading name who used to be an editor of a socialist magazine.
And what's this all have to do with the internet?
Well.. I'm going to tell you.
See, the Free Press has been hard pressing the FCC to implement their Net Neutrality agenda. At first glance, you think that that would constitute everything on the net being neutral.. or fair.. right?
Well, isn't it already? Do you have any restrictions on the internet? Are you being censored in any way shape or form (and please don't give me the child porn argument. That just makes you look like an idiot)?
But remember how Bobby like to play with words? If Free Press is actually the opposite of what it's name suggests then wouldn't it stand to reason that Net Neutrality would be the opposite? You'd be right.
If you do your research (come on, there's only so much time you can spend on Farmville or Mafia Wars).. and connect the dots.. you'll find out that what Bobby and Free Press are trying to do is SILENCE YOU. They are trying to END DEBATE. They want end your constitutional right to free speech.
This on the heels of Cass Sunstein, Obama's Information and Regulatory Czar proposed Fairness Doctrine.. which isn't really fair at all because it's intent is to silence or make libel anything that you can't prove. HIS biggest example is the Obama / Bill Ayers connection. There are many, many, MANY proofs of this relationship but apparently, if you find something out that they don't want brought to light in a global way then guess what? You're blog or website will be targeted .. be shut down.. and you'll get sued.
Geez. Real fair, right?
Oh and how about what Howard Dean said in October 2010 when asked about the media? You're going to LOVE this..
.. we have a strong First Amendment which has served us well in this country but I think I would bring back the Fairness Doctrine... this would be better for the country.. American's don't know what's going on and therefore the media can have their way with them intellectually."
So um.. I'm not smart enough to know what's going on? Actually Howard, I think we are because for an administration that touted transpirancy, there's an awful lot of things that you guys want to hide.. take away.. or stop us from saying.
In a commencement speech that President Obama gave at Hampton University in Viriginia last May, he told the graduating class that there was TOO much information out there.. that they shouldn't pay attention to the barrage of 24/7 news.
Ok.. I got off track,.
The thing is.. that there are people in key position in our administration who want to censor us. There are organizations formed by Socialists who want to silence us. And even though the supreme court has already ruled that what they are trying to do is unconstitutional, guess what? That didn't stop them.
Congress is voting on December 21st on Net Neutrality.
My bet is that you won't hear about it .. If it's on the news, it will be one of those things barely mentioned at 11:29.
And if it passes? Scratch another freedom away.
