Latino
July 7th, 2020 11:58 AM
Four years ago, Univision asked for (and received) a rule waiver from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), allowing Televisa to expand its stake in the network beyond the 25% limit established by law. Shortly after announcing its proposed sale to a new investor group, Univision quietly asked the FCC to change its rules yet again, this time in order to allow 100% foreign ownership.…

Hysterical Media Outlets React in Horror to Trump... Yet Again
July 21st, 2018 4:00 PM
Okay. Let’s get this out of the way at the outset. The Trump press conference in Helsinki was a misstep. Which was corrected when seriously responsible people like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stepped up to the plate and respectfully said so. But. The but comes from the massive - and IOK do mean massive - media meltdown that instantly followed. Typical of the breed was my old colleague…
The Internet ‘As We Know It’…Is Over. Well, It ‘Could’ Be. Maybe
June 11th, 2018 1:50 PM
A Net Neutrality-free Internet – is the Internet status quo. It’s “The Internet as we know it.” Everything you knew about the Internet the first two-plus decades – is what you know about the Internet now. Everything else being flung at you by the Media-Left – is just ideological monkey poo.

Dangers of Government Control
January 4th, 2018 1:52 PM
We are a nation of 325 million people. We have a bit of control over the behavior of our 535 elected representatives in Congress, the president and the vice president. But there are seven unelected people who have life-and-death control over our economy and hence our lives -- the seven governors of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board controls our money supply. Its governors are…

Blogger: No Fairness Doctrine Means ‘Atrocious’ Right-Wing Radio
August 1st, 2017 5:25 PM
It was thirty years ago this week that the FCC, wanting to “extend to the electronic press the same First Amendment guarantees that the print media have enjoyed since our country’s inception,” abandoned the Fairness Doctrine. Some liberals hoped that the Obama administration would retrieve it, but that didn’t happen. That was too bad, indicated The Washington Monthly’s D.R. Tucker in a Monday…
Bozell & Graham Column: Government Broadcasters v. the FCC?
July 22nd, 2017 8:30 AM
The Hollywood Reporter unveils that PBS and its public-broadcasting brethren have written the Federal Communications Commission with a list of complaints. The headline: “PBS Wants the Government to Reexamine Hard Stance on Indecency.” That’s a funny headline, since we haven’t seen a “hard stance on indecency” since the Hays Commission a half century ago. And that wasn’t even the government.
Apparently, Failing Civics Class is a Media Job Requirement
May 30th, 2016 12:40 PM
Our public schools have for decades served not as education facilities - but as social services and indoctrination centers. From which the average graduate can’t read the diploma they're handed - but they can roll a condom on a banana. Where people are brainwashed into preferring failed-everywhere socialism over wealth-producing capitalism - but are blithering, blinkered boobs when asked why…

NY Times Mangles Obama's Net Neutrality Power Grab
March 16th, 2015 9:26 AM
As we know - America’s media is for the most part decidedly Leftist, often befuddled and rarely right. So when they wade into an intricate issue like President Barack Obama’s Net Neutrality Internet power grab - we can only expect even more Leftism, befuddlement and wrongness.
On February 26, the Obama Administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pretended to be Congress and rewrote…
