Shutting down talk radio in the name of diversity

How will Americans respond when Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and many others are banned from radio? What will happen when your cable provider is forced to drop Fox News and Christian TV channels to bring about a more diverse viewpoint?

It might take something like this for Americans to wake up and see what Obama is doing to this country.

From the American Daily Review

Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission's "Diversity Committee," chaired by Fairness Doctrine proponent Henry Rivera, made it clear that they were going force the President's supporters into positions of power within the broadcast industry.

FCC Chairman Michael Copps forcefully denounced the current racial and gender make-up of the broadcast industry and called its lack of diversity "a shameful state of affairs." Copps then asked the Committee: "Is it any wonder that minorities are so often stereotyped and caricatured and that the positive contributions of the minority community are so often overlooked?"

Copps told Committee members, many of whom represent left-leaning activist groups such as the National Urban League, the Asian American Justice Center and One World Economy: "Be bold. Take these issues and run with them. This is not a ceremonial appointment. This is your chance to make a real and lasting difference. I hope that you will set an aggressive agenda for yourselves and that you will not hesitate to propose aggressive solutions."

Many in the broadcast industry fear the Committee will do just that, and work to shut down conservative talk radio in the name of "diversity."
