The president warns us that Americans must beware of "the craziest
claims" and "arguments" in which "information becomes a distraction"
that puts "pressures" on "our democracy." What was behind Barack
Obama's recent remarks to the graduating class of Hampton University?
What "information" must Americans fear?

FCC Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/i...asp?indid=2411
foretold Obama's meaning in a coauthored 2007 Center for American
Progress (CAP) report. The report complained that 91 percent of talk
radio is conservative and praised the "more balanced" programming "in
markets such as New York and Chicago." The deep blue demographics of
two of the bluest American cities betray a deceitful usage of the term
"more balanced."

To further corrupt the meaning of "balance," even after admitting that
"no matter how the data is analyzed," conservative talk dominates
"over and over again," the CAP report implied that talk radio balance
means half conservative, half progressive programming. This is
instructive. Although twice as many Americans self-identify as
conservative versus liberal, the liberal meaning of balance mutates
from allotment according to real-life proportions to equal market
share. Armed with any redefinitions required, FCC Chief Diversity
Officer Lloyd is now in a position to rebalance political talk radio.

To understand how "balance" could be achieved, we refer again to
President Obama's warning that Hampton graduates must avoid
information that becomes distracting. Precisely how can one recognize
distracting information? A clue lies in the CAP report's insistence
that broadcast companies serve "the listening needs of all Americans."
The key word is "needs." Liberals assume that people should need only
the information that liberals want people to have. Other information
constitutes "distraction."

But when huge majorities of customers support existing talk radio
programming, there exists only imaginary distraction. Only the most
microscopic gap could exist between demand and supply. Such
unpleasantness doesn't faze progressive know-it-alls unable to accept
that customers recoil from force-fed progressive talk.


Undeterred, Lloyd and the other coauthors of the 2007 CAP report
recommended a force-feeding technique that requires "diversity" in
radio station ownership in order to inflict repeatedly rejected
progressive viewpoints on the people. As I reported last August,
diversity would be achieved through three actions.

Right.

WLS has the same signal as WCPT

WABC has the same signal as WWRL
