The FCC is gearing up to put the camel's nose into newsrooms. Who on Earth thinks politically appointed government bureaucrats should be involved in any way with gathering and reporting news?

I must have missed the part in the article or video that said that...most likely because it's not there.

Probably politicians who think they never should be criticized!
Oh, I get it, that was a rhetorical question.
Seriously, though, there do seem to be some people in the current administration who seem to be okay with these "but it's all for the greater good" argument. Like good intentions always give you a free pass for bad behavior.

Considering it was mentioned that word spread, you can't rule it out.

Re: Nice Planet 6: Get Me Off This Planet.
I don't think criticism is the principal concern here. Rather it's alleged lack of coverage for topics the busy bodies think are important. It's Fairness Doctrine 2.0, only much worse. It's ironic, is it not, that we have more diversity of opinion in our media (and more media) than ever before? This baby needs to be strangled in the crib.

When they mentioned word spread, it was after the second group had come in. Oh, right, don't let facts get in the way of disparaging gubmint employees.

And that proves beyond any doubt that cops are out there murdering innocent victims in a huge national conspiracy.

They couldn't get WWIII going, so the NWO has to come up with another method of population control.

agree with your last sentence entirely. However, it seems clear that censorhip of some sort is the ultimate goal behind these proposals, no matter how they try to dress them up.

Re: Nice Planet 6: Get Me Off This Planet.
Nowdays, it seems, just about everybody has a web site or blog. We've never had such free flow of information. Yet, some members of the FCC think it's a good idea to gather data on the process by which news operations decide what to cover. Speaking as someone who has presided at uncounted morning budget meetings, the process can be simple or complicated, obvious or subtle. In the news business there are "A" stories and "B" stories. "A" stories require all hands on deck, frequently wall to wall "The Hindenburg slams into city hall." "B" stories are by far the more common. And the depth of coverage is variable. In fact, what might have been a lead story yesterday might not be covered at all today, for instance if a jetliner belly flops in to the local airport. The answer to the question "why did you cover a given story in a given way" is because, in our professional judgment, it was warranted.
Meanwhile, the Commission is backing down.

And it's up to each of us (and not some government official) to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
In the beginning, the rationale for having an FCC was that channels (first AM, then FM, then TV) were "scarce natural resources." Not so much these days.
