Elitist Senator calls for TV news censorship...

Hey, I don't watch any TV news programs but I am opposed to their being censored just because they spit out left/right nonsense. It's a free country isn't it? I don't know what he is so upset about. These networks promote his agenda twenty four hours a day seven days a week. I am more upset about his comments about the internet. This is the medium that is still beyond their control. How much longer that will be is probably marked in months rather than years if they succeed in a phony cyber attack to provide an excuse to more firmly control it. But this gives you some insight into how these folks think.


Rockefeller Wants Government to Shut Down Fox and MSNBC

Senator Jay Rockefeller, great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller and nephew of David Rockefeller, wants to yank both Fox News and MSNBC off the air.

“There is a bug inside of that wants to get the FCC to say to Fox News and MSNBC… out, off,” he said during a hearing on retransmission negotiations between broadcasters and cable providers. “We have journalism that is always ravenous for the next rumor, but insufficiently hungry for the facts that can nourish our democracy.”

“I hunger for quality news, I’m tired of the right and left,” Rockefeller said.

He failed to mention that both networks are cable television channels and the FCC has little if any regulatory power over their content.

Millions of Americans have tuned out the false right-left paradigm of the corporate-dominated news channels in favor of alternative news sources on the internet. For the establishment, this trend is highly disturbing and must be turned back.

In March of 2009, Rockefeller said the internet is the “number one national hazard” to national security.

“It really almost makes you ask the question would it have been better if we had never invented the internet,” Rockefeller mused during the confirmation hearing of Gary Locke, Barry Obama’s choice for Commerce Secretary. He then cited a dubious figure of three million cyber “attacks” launched against the Department of Defense every day. “Everybody is attacked, anybody can do it. People say, well it’s China and Russia, but there could be some kid in Latvia doing the same thing.”
