Obama FCC strips away more of American freedoms by modifying FCC rules that protect broadcasters

FCC Approves Foreign Takeover of U.S. Broadcasters September 29, 2016

This new FCC rule (PDF) gives foreign interests the long sought-after tools they need to shape U.S. public opinion and to censor the opposition.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on September 29th did something worse than give up control of the Internet. They voted unanimously to put America’s entire broadcast industry on the fast track to a foreign takeover by Chinese, Russian or Muslim Brotherhood front corporations.

This new FCC rule (PDF) gives foreign interests the long sought-after tools they need to shape U.S. public opinion and to censor the opposition.

Once a foreign corporation scoops up a media business, such as a chain of radio stations, it can eliminate national and local programming and substitute its own government’s propaganda. That means that conservative talkers could find themselves off the air.

Citing the need for “change” from the old “vintage” laws, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel declared that “laws that govern broadcast investment can get in the way.”

So, rather than respect the law and Congress, the FCC decided in a 5 to 0 vote to decree a new “rule” that effectively guts a law that protected Americans from foreign interests and their propaganda. The new rule assumes that any foreign owner of a TV or radio broadcaster will be acceptable unless someone can prove otherwise.

Congress appears to be content to be left in the dark on the subject.


An example of our blissfully-ignorant Congress was on display a couple of weeks prior to the FCC vote, when the entire FCC commission testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation in a hearing entitled, “Oversight of the Federal Communications Commission.” Even though the FCC had announced it was planning a vote on new foreign ownership rules over a year ago, during a three-hour hearing the subject was never raised by one senator.

There is much more at stake here than just capital. It’s called a free and independent press. Thanks to the FCC, soon foreign interests will be able to masquerade as your friendly neighborhood TV or radio station (the national media sold out long ago). And you can count on them waving the American flag as they do it.

The Wall Street Journal and Reuters have reported extensively on Chinese purchases of movie theater chains and Hollywood production companies, including a current bid to buy Dick Clark Productions. Chinese interests have also leased local underperforming AM radio stations in major U.S. markets such as Washington D.C. Based on the nature of those deals and their financial losses, it is clear that China’s interest in entering the U.S. media market is more to influence public opinion than to turn a profit.

So why did this happen? The current FCC commissioners are mostly lawyers and lobbyists with political connections to both political parties. These political parties depend on financial contributions from major corporations, including media corporations. They want the option of dumping their broadcast properties off on cash-heavy foreign buyers, no matter what impact it has on the public’s right to know.

The system is rigged, even in favor of the foreign interests buying up America.

Donald Trump said the system is rigged and its not just the political election system.

If Trump is elected we the people must demand that he puts pressure on the FCC to change these new FCC rules that allow foreign governments to control the "news media" and talk radio in the US.

This is something he must do or Americans will hear more foreign propaganda than we do now. Also talk radio will begin to be controlled by those who will twist the truth and cause more people to become ignorant of the truth.

This FCC ruling is something I was not aware of until today.

Instead of your local "swap-n-shop" radio you will begin to hear "swap-n-snitch" radio.

Obama FCC strips away more of America freedoms buy modifying FCC rules that protect broadcasters.

Both obama and hillary clinton are traitors to American. Both have violated criminal law. Both have corrupted government institutions.

Hillary emails reveal her total corruption that also involves others including obama.

The DOJ is covering for obama and hillary corruption.

If hillary wins the election we are gulag bound.
