'Media Reform' event promotes government control of speech - WASHINGTON, June 18, 2008
Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid, the only conservative media analyst reporting from the far-left “National Conference for Media Reform” in Minneapolis, is warning that “media reform” is a cover for 'unleashing the powers of the federal government on those who use television and radio to resist and challenge the liberal-left agenda.'
“It will be carried forward in the name of media ‘fairness,’ the ‘public interest,’ stopping ‘media consolidation,’ Internet ‘neutrality,’ and stopping harmful ‘hate speech,’” Kincaid says. “But it will leave the First Amendment in tatters and the federal government in control, and conservatives will have to resort to using the mostly liberal courts to get their rights back. Make no mistake - this is what they mean by ‘change.’”
Frightening. Leftists everywhere want to shut up those who exercise their rights and don't submit to leftist dogma. They want to take away (non-leftist) peoples' right to free expression.
The People must say "NO!" to this "reform". After all, we know what happened with Nazi "reforms" and Communist "reforms". And with Islamic "reforms" in Iran. And what's happening with Vlad Putin's "reforms" in retrograde Russia.
