CRUSH TALK RADIO - No Fairness Doctrine Required!

From the BBC

The government could face a public backlash over its plans to switch national radio stations over to digital transmission, peers have warned. The Communications Committee of the House of Lords says there is "public confusion and industry uncertainty". It said people were still buying analogue radios which will be out of date in a few years' time. The government has set a target date of 2015 for national and regional radio stations to switch over from FM and AM. 

 

Excerpted from a Scripps article on the Radio Act of 1927

... "Free speech" was not an empty term as used by Progressives in the Radio Act of 1927. None of the major participants in the discussion of the law sought to have the federal government run radio stations or provide the material for broadcasters, except in national emergencies. Congress gave them the right to create and broadcast entertainment and news for the listening public. The FRC sought to ensure everyone access to at least one radio station, making listeners active participants in American society and the political process. However, Congress did not want the voices of the Socialist, the Communism, the Bolsheviks, the evolutionists or the obscene heard on the radio. Clearly, some Congressmen feared the power of radio and what they perceived was its potential as a mechanism to call for radical political or social reform, to speak the indecent, or to monopolize opinions. To prevent that from happening, Congress gave enormous discretion to the FRC to protect listeners from those who would not operate radio for "public interest, convenience, and necessity" ...

 Herbert Hoover was a major force in getting the Act passed - he served as Secretary of Commerce under Harding and Wilson and was a self-proclaimed Progressive and reformer. And note THIS - he was also a champion of the Efficiency Movement. I have been waiting for this to come into the debate - the Efficiency Movement was one of my special focuses in college. Progressives are known by many things - eugenics, social justice and elitism, but it is their intention to dehumanize us all that deserves the most attention. Once you understand the Efficiency Movement,  you understand exactly where Obama & Company want to go and why you should be terrified.
