The amendment is nearly identical to a policy position outlined by the
White House that says:

“Encourage Diversity in Media Ownership: Encourage diversity in the
ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media
outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public
interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation's
spectrum.”

Similarly, *the [Soros-Funded] Center for American Progress,

headed by former Obama transition leader John Podesta,

published a report that called for new “localism” and “ownership
diversity” regulations to balance conservative talk radio with
[government propaganda/government paid for] progressive talk radio.

You must be sort of stupid. *That's not at all what the article says.
The bill is about breaking up these huge media conglomerates that have
monopolized the airwaves. *It had nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh,
regardless of what Pence says. *He's a Republican. *Of course he's for
these huge media monopoolies, and he's framing the argument as something
it isn't as a smoke-and-mirrors tactic to make it look like it's about
free speech. *It's a 1984 argument, doublespeak, when it's the Democrats
that are merely trying to put diversity and free speech back into radio
by returning the programming to local choices. *It's that simple.

HEIL HITLER! - it's that simple.
