State adviser, Marxist also want more FCC control of airwaves

“Net neutrality” rules must be implemented while the government should
quintuple federal funding for public and community broadcasting,
argued Ben Scott, the State Department’s recently appointed policy
adviser for innovation.

Scott was writing last year in a radical magazine in an article co-
authored by Robert W. McChesney (left), an avowed Marxist activist who
has called for the dismantlement, “brick-by-brick,” of the U.S.
capitalist system, with America being rebuilt as a socialist society.

McChesney is the founder of the George Soros-funded Free Press, which
petitions for more government control of the Internet and news media.

Scott and McChesney also recommended the U.S. impose ownership limits
on local radio, TV, and cable channels while pushing for more control
of the media by the FCC.

The duo were writing in the January/February 2009 edition of Tikkun
Magazine, run by avowed Marxist Michael Lerner.

Lerner has been accused of using the magazine to justify Palestinian
terror and has written articles in which he suggested the 9/11 attacks
were a response to U.S. policies.

“Whatever issue tops your list of priorities, real progress will be
impossible unless we first change our media system,” wrote Scott and
McChesney. “Currently, access to communications and control over media
content are vested in the hands of corporate titans.”

The two recommended the following policy implementations:

* Restore the original mission of the Federal Communications
Commission as a guardian of the public interest. The FCC must become a
twenty-first-century agency focused on the digital media marketplace
of ideas and commerce, with a commitment to public engagement,
transparency, and accountability.

* Support ownership limits and public oversight to foster more
diverse, competitive, and local ownership of radio, TV, and cable
channels.

* At a minimum, quintuple the federal funding for public and community
broadcasting, to at least $3 billion annually-earmarking money for
children’s and public affairs programming. Funding should come from
fees paid by commercial licensees to the public airwaves.

* Ban all advertising on broadcast and cable TV programs where over 33
percent of the viewership is under the age of twelve. This is similar
to the rules in many European nations.

* Establish “Network Neutrality” rules that guarantee free speech and
a free market on the Internet by prohibiting discrimination,
manipulation, and interference by network owners like Comcast or AT&T.

* Restore competition to the market in high-speed internet access to
break the hold of the cable-telephone duopoly on the nation’s
“broadband” infrastructure.

* Transition all public subsidies for telephone networks to fund
infrastructure to bring the benefits of broadband to all Americans.

* Authorize the license of more noncommercial, low-power FM radio
stations in communities nationwide.

* Open antitrust investigations into vertically integrated media
companies that control production and distribution through anti-
competitive practices.

“Net neutrality” refers to government interference to propose a
principle for users’ access to networks participating in the Internet.

The principle states that if a given user pays for a certain level of
Internet access, and another user pays for the same level of access,
then the two users should be able to connect to each other at the
subscribed level of access.

Just last week, FCC Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve controversial
“net neutrality” rules, with the content of those rules, about 100
pages, still being rolled out.

This past May, Scott was named a policy adviser for innovation at the
State Department. He previously served as director of McChesney’s Free
Press.

Scott authored a book, “The Future of Media,” which was edited by
McChesney, who doubles as a professor at the University of Illinois
and is former editor of the Marxist journal Monthly Review.

In February 2009, McChesney wrote in a column, “In the end, there is
no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system
itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.”

The board of Free Press has included a slew of radicals, such as
Obama’s former “green jobs” czar Van Jones, who resigned after it was
exposed he founded a communist organization.

In May, WND reported Free Press published a study advocating the
development of a “world class” government-run media system in the
U.S.

Now the group is pushing a new organization, StopBigMedia.com, that
advocates the downfall of “big media” and the creation of new media to
“promote local ownership, amplify minority voices, support quality
journalism, and bring local artists, voices and viewpoints to the
airwaves.”

Free Press has ties to other members of the Obama administration.

Obama’s “Internet czar,” Susan P. Crawford, spoke at a Free Press’s
May 14, 2009, “Changing Media” summit in Washington, D.C.

Crawford’s pet project, OneWebNow, lists as “participating
organizations” Free Press and the controversial Association of
Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.

Crawford and Kevin Werbach, who co-directed the Obama transition
team’s Federal Communications Commission Review team, are advisory
board members at Public Knowledge, a George Soros-funded public
interest group.

A Public Knowledge advisory board member is Timothy Wu, who is also
chairman of the board for Free Press.

Like Public Knowledge, Free Press also has received funds from Soros’
Open Society Institute.

Mrs. Sec'y Clinton isn't running until 2016.

Your idea of "fairness" and "justice" is to IMPOSE YOUR idea of
"fairness" and "justice" by way of Liberal fascist government control
instead of the populace choosing what they wish to watch or listen via
the free and unfettered marketplace.

Do what you want on cable or satellite. The PUBLIC AIRWAVES belong to
everyone and it is ANTI-AMERICAN to allow them to be dominated by one
point of view. To me, The Glenn Beck radio program is the equivalent of
someone letting their Great Dane dog take a big **** in the middle of
the sidewalk.

The Public Airwaves should serve everyone with accurate news, balanced
opinion, and culturally significant entertainment. Not a lowest common
denominator assault on the intellect of the People.

No president has ever been able to "control" what gets on the air.
Despite being a Fascist, Marxist, Maoist, Hitler worshipping supposed
"ultra leftist," the current one can't even prevent moneyed interests
from buying control of the public airwaves until the screaming,
fanatical, right wing voice is pretty much the only one anybody is
allowed to hear. Although he wanted to bomb Al Jazeera, the previous
president probably never felt much desire to control what got on the
air, since he got an uninterrupted eight year rim job from the
"liberal media" which allegedly hated him, but did an incredible job
of completely hiding it.

It is completely unacceptable to conservatives to have their
government telling them via something like The Fairness Doctrine that
they must allow dissenting voices on the public airwaves. It is not
only acceptable but desirable to conservatives to tell the public what
the public thinks by using money to smash dissenting voices to
smithereens like Wal Mart smashes local grocery store chains.

Your idea of "fairness" and "justice" is to IMPOSE YOUR idea of
"fairness" and "justice" by way of Liberal fascist government control
instead of the populace choosing what they wish to watch or listen via
the free and unfettered marketplace.

They tried your idea in the USSR while it still exists in that model
Utopia of N.Korea and Communist China to mention a few.
Yeap! It works great when you are a Liberal Fascist dictator - Heil
Hitler!
Once the likes of you have control we will all be singing
