Fairness Doctrine Watch: The FCC’s “Diversity Panel”
Gird your loins again, conservatives. The diversity-mongers are preparing the next step toward the un-Fairness Doctrine. Obama’s acting FCC chairman has named a revamped “Diversity Panel” that will meet on May 7 to remake the airwaves. Via Streaming Magazine:
Acting FCC Chairman Michael Copps has announced the full membership of the commission’s Advisory Committee on Diversity for Communications in the Digital Age. On the panel are:
Henry Rivera, Emma Bowen Foundation for Minority Interests in Media (Chairperson)
Raul Alarcon Jr., Spanish Broadcasting System
Jenny Alonzo, Mio.TV
James M. Assey, Jr., National Cable Television Association
Geoffrey C. Blackwell, Chickasaw Nation Industries, Inc.
Matthew Blank, Showtime Networks
Maria E. Brennan, American Women in Radio and Television
Kathy Brown, Verizon
Toni Cook Bush, Virgin Mobile
Alan B. Davidson, Google, Inc.
Ralph de la Vega, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets
Steve Hillard, Council Tree Communications
David Honig, Minority Media and Telecommunications Council
Rodney Hood, National Credit Union Administration
Ronald Johnson, Ronson Network Services
Debra Lee, BET Holdings, Inc.
Jane Mago, National Association of Broadcasters
Robert Mendez, ABC Television Network
Marc H. Morial, National Urban League
Karen K. Narasaki, Asian American Justice Center
Melissa Newman, Qwest
Jake Oliver, Afro-American Newspapers
Susan K. Patrick, Patrick Communications
Lisa Pickrum, The RLJ Companies
Rey Ramsey, One Economy Corporation
Michael V. Roberts, Roberts Broadcasting Companies LLC
Andrew Schwartzman, Media Access Project
Anita Stephens Graham, Opportunity Capital Partners
Diane Sutter, Shooting Star Broadcasting
Charles Warfield, Inner City Broadcasting
James Winston, National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters
Copps said, “I am extremely pleased to announce the membership of this vital Advisory Committee, which will provide an important and independent voice for strengthening our commitment to diversity. The sad truth is that the diversity of this great nation is not reflected in the ownership of its media and telecommunications facilities. The time has come to chart a new course, to roll up our sleeves and get to work to craft sustainable solutions.”
The committee is set to meet on May 7 at 10 a.m. at FCC headquarters; the meeting will be open to the public.
Seton Motley at Newsbusters has more:
Rivera got the gig heading up this racial grumble group because he has long championed the concept of “media diversity.”
The proponents of station owner affirmative action are the same Leftists who were so ardently in favor of reinstating the Doctrine. One can thusly be forgiven for seeing this as an alternative route for the Left to reach their long-sought original destination – the silencing of conservative and Christian talk radio via governmental regulatory fiat.
And it’s not just our imagination – it’s also our lying eyes. The Center for American Progress is a left-wing hack outfit headed by former Clinton Administration and Obama Transition Team adviser John Podesta. And they released on January 22, 2007 a report entitled “Local Media Diversity Matters – Measure Media Diversity According to Democratic Values, Not Market Values.”
The name of the report is right up this Committee’s alley and instantaneously gives any sensible person the Willies. So anti-free market a title is but a prelude – the recommendations are a series of assaults on the broadcast industry so as to effect their desired ideological outcome – less conservatives on the air.
Many on the Left see the media pantheon as fraught with racism and sexism. And of course the airwaves are dominated by ideological monopol-ism. There are too many white men owning too many radio and television stations that broadcast too many conservatives to suit liberal tastes.
They truly believe the former is the only possible explanation for the latter. The existence of Laura Ingraham, Monica Crowley, Tammy Bruce and other un-white males in the talk radio universe fails to persuade them. Neither does the ratings argument – thems that get the ratings get the airwaves. Conservatives have listeners; liberals do not.
According to the Left, these white male station owners don’t put conservatives on the air because they make them money, they put them on the air because they are conservatives. The anti-free speech/anti-free marketeers remain as always steadfastly impervious to facts.
If at first you can’t compete, run to the government and cry “DIVERSITY!”

WOW, locally, half the stations are in Spanish,. It will be good to get that crap off the air so normal Americans can understand them.
Oh you don’t think that is what is going on? What else could it possible be? The one Conservative talk channel needs to go Spanish and hip-hop? What for.
This is such a crock and a direct attack on free speech under the racism banner.
Yes, this is straight from George Orwell. “Diversity” means silencing anyone who disagrees with the state.
NEVER let the facts influence your argument…
sarc
In the MSM you see anything but diversity of thought!!
the fairness doctrine, is so much BS. and after going over the names listed on the diversity panel, I had no idea crap could be piled that high.
Though it is only an advisory board, my hope is that the advice is heard, and then, more advice is heard. That questions are asked, and more questions are asked.
I don’t know the details and innerworkings of the radio (and, TV) system, but I do know it is a business, and it done to make money.
Whatever is the final decision after recieving all that advice, the bottomline will be, can the business model established for radio and TV, by the FCC, . . . will the stations be able to make money?
Diversity in color only…Lock-step in thought.
Of all the crap that has been going on over the last few years, and now accelerated under the current administration, this squelching of voices is perhaps THE scariest. Personally, I like to think that it won’t work, that we will find a way to make ourselves feel heard. But the mere fact that so many wish to silence desent gives me the creeps. Big Time.
In all fairness, how IS that Radio America working out ? Al Franken…your paychecks just bounced.
Time for a bail-out.
We don’t want to FEEL heard. We want to BE heard.
That’s what this is about. Obama doesn’t want us to BE heard. Stay vigilant, people.
LiberalsFacists want no debate, no alternative voice, no dissent, no free market.Let your voice be HEARD. July 4, 2009. We need to march on DC!
Good bye talk radio…
Porky: “Diverse? Whats’s a diverse?”
Stymie: “That’s easy! When two cars smack up in the intersection, and you say, that’s diverse accident I ever seed!”
And if that is not enough the European Union is at it again demanding that the US give up control of the internet:
How long do you think it will be till Obama runs back to Europe to apologize for this.
Whenever they use the “D” word (diversity) is used, I get nervous!
I have several questions:
Could someone tell me why “diversity” is a worthy goal?
Diversity of what?
Could someone tell me how “they” know there isn’t enough diversity now?
Could someone tell me they know the right level?
Could someone tell me who or what is preventing the “proper” level of diversity?
Diversity and Hate Crimes, Hate Speech, Hate Looks, Hate Exclusions are indeed the code words for 21st Century American Fascism of the Socialist/Progressives. Before a William Ayres type can start to build and populate the Re-Education and Unrepentant Population Reductions Camps they have to control information. That they will do by Any Means Necessary. To quote the Big Daddy and demigod (Pre Obama) of the Internationalist/Fascist/Socialist
“If you want to make an omelet,” Lenin insisted, “you have to be willing to break a few eggs.” To which the Bolshevik replied, “Comrade, I see the broken eggs everywhere. But where, oh where, is the omelet?”
I imagine that Bolshevik did not do well after that.
“In all fairness, how IS that Radio America working out?” If that is all there is, paid for by the State and that is all your radio will tune into that is all that will be listened to.The same people who will come for your guns will come for your Fascist/Racist/Right-Wing Extremist/Dead White European Patriarchy radios. And then they will come for you.
Fascism is not COMING-FASCISM IS HERE. If we have an open election in 2010 will be seen.

Their backgrounds are diverse, but they all wear brown shirts.
I suggest we just tell them they are welcome to start their own internet. We’ve even already been so kind as to tell them how the current one works so they are free to make a better one.
What happened to Google’s motto ” Don’t Be Evil ” ?
Yeah, how many stores remain in business just because they like their product and their customers do not.
Wasn’t poisoning half the Country with Odopey Kool-Aid enough for these a$$hats?????
What exactly do they mean by diversity? I would really like to know. If they are talking about diverse opinions…then there is plenty of that out there in the media. But there is NO diversity of opinions in DC. It is the fascist way or the highway. So, maybe they need to look at the Federal Government and fix the diverity issues there before trashing our constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech out here in the real world.
How come Perez Hilton isn’t on the Panel? rofl.
So a group of people who’s ancestors are Irish, Italian, German, British, French, Canadian, etc. ARE NOT diverse????
The 1st is under attack and the top radio stars need to get lawyers knee deep to stop this. I imagine Fox will be under attack also, they are so far to the ‘right’ in their reporting you know. Just another day in bho world take another right from us Americans. I can not believe the people on the list.
L
Engilishqueen01, may I steal that: `We don’t want to feel heard, we want to be heard’?
I have already emailed my local Congresscritter, Mike Honda (San Jose) that he does not want to be part of the Congress that stood idly by and let American’s Freedom of Speech be taken (He is a Vet as I recall). But, he is also a Lib, a Progressive even. I want someone else to rant at about this. Nancy (Pelosi) is Moonstruck, which is about right because San Fran IS the Largest Outdoor Lunatic Asylum. Anyone else know who’s cage I can rattle? As I like to say to the SJ City Council: Get to know this face, I’m not going away…
Why should Americans allow their airwaves to be used by right wing hatemongers (the word monger comes from an old word for selling. Hagemongers sell and profit from hate.)? Let’s replace Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh and the rest by country music and Harry Potter. At least it isn’t evil.
If they want to do it on cable, like Fox, that’s fine. But not with shared EM broadcasting.
Obviously you’re clueless. It’s something called the 1st amendment. You seem to forget Olby, air america, colmes etc. that have their fair share of the airwaves.
I work in advertising so you’re way off base. It’s all about the money and liberal talk shows don’t bring in the dollars because they spew nothing but hate.
But, then again hate spewing is in the eye of the beholder. We think you’re loons are hate mongers and you think ours are hate mongers.
WHICH MEANS THE 1ST AMENDMENT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO!
Everything you post is never thought out or makes sense!
Translation – I am all for diversity and freedom of speech as long as it is what I beleive in.
I usually don’t engage morons and trolls, but I have a question for you…would you replace Air America with music and Harry Potter too, or just conservative radio? Just curious. Because, the left wing does have a huge voice already…called NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, Public Radio, CNN…the list goes on. And don’t forget…conservative radio has millions of listeners and make TONS of money for the sponsors. I know none of this will sink in because you don’t have a brain. But I just wanted to inject a bit of truth into the complete pile of moose sh1% you posted.
What an impressive list of left wing Marxist. Surely our airways will be safe now. Nothing but liberal propaganda, personally approved by the Anointed One. And he said “Bush” was shreadding the Constitution! I’m keeping my weapons in fine working order.I suggest you do the same.
and the libtards have no problem with chrissy mr tingle and keith olberwanker? gimmie a break.
lgm,if they get their way even YOU won’t be able to post your drivel on sites like this.
Well, Obama did say he wanted to re-shape America.
Why shouldn’t they?
Please – point to the part of the First Amendment that says “congress shall make no law” about freedom of speech with the clause “except for conservative talk radio”?
And, please, prove that conservative talk radio is “hate mongering.” Cite sources and transcripts.
geeze happy, you just muddled lgm’s lil brain with facts. what are you going to do now? go to Disneyland? lol
ummm…I’m still trying to find any “hate” in Conservative talk radio. None from Glenn Beck. None from Rush Limbaugh. No “hate” even from Fox News.
Then again, any speech liberals don’t agree with they call “hate speech”.
They call it ‘hate speech’, because they ‘hate’ it.
The diversity panel I’m sure would especially rather not talk about Conservative Black talk radio.
The Ralph Bailey Show
Like they used to tell us, you don’t have to listen/watch, you can change the station/channel.
For the same reasons Air America, Randi Rhodes, Nancy Skinner, Ed Schultz, etc are on the air – except those talkers on the right are actually able to attract listeners!
Using the “hatemonger” adjective to describe talk radio doesn’t make it so, no matter how times the Left uses it.
Station owners are in business to make money. If Harry Potter (perhaps you mean audio books?!) and country music brought in more listeners, don’t you think the owners would have made the switch long ago?
Radio today, cable tv tomorrow, the Internet the day after – it’s a slippery slope, as those on the Left like to say about any measure to restrict late term abortion, towards government censorship of the media. And that’s too high a price to pay, just to prop up the failing talkers on the Left.
Oh my.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
You can’t possible be serious? You get goofier all the time lgm.
I can’t believe lgm believes that. It’s okay, lgm, we will defend to the death your right to free speech, not just what happens to be socially acceptable at any given time. What’s right is not always popular, what’s popular is not always right.

Sigh… we need a really big sign that says, “Don’t FEED the TROLLS”
Carry on… I just needed to vent.
Radio is a tough business. There are already many radio stations that can be bought in every market in the country on every day of the week.
I have no idea what a ‘diversity’ council could possibly achieve in the radio station purchasing world.
Now, if they were to ask me what they could achieve in the cable tv business, there is one clear directive that would correct many problems. Every cable provider needs to allow their customers the option of choosing which individual channels they want to receive. The current ‘bundling’ done by cable operators has created a market where people are forced to pay for channels they will never watch, while short changing the ones that are watched.
Joy, I debated responding, sometimes it is best to just ignore innanity. But, there are times things must be said to state the obvious to Simpletons, even if only to stir conversation. I do wonder if that is some’s purpose. I have no problem with debate. The left clearly does.
Constitution, the U.S. Constitution-a bill of Negative Rights written by and for a bunch of Dead White European Males of the White Racist Patriarchy? That Constitution?
Obama, the majority of the scum in Congress and our courts are no way impressed with being limited in THEIR Power by such a document. Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Assembly, Religion, Secure is Persons, Papers and Property? A trial by jury, no ex post facto laws, Congress sitting as a criminal Jury Constitution?
The American people gave it away last November without a Amendment Ratification or Convention. Fascism IS here: What are YOU going to do about it? Blogging and letters to the editor can inform our fellows–but what are you going to DO?

Making it so people are forced to carry Liberal Radio programs will not make people actually listen to them. The market had repeatedly shown that the public, for the most part, does not want to listen to that much whining and carping about nonsense all the while using feeling and emotion based drivel instead of facts.
Just because you remove the shows you hate will not make people listen to shows they hate.
Of course, Liberals don’t believe in fair markets, just like they don’t believe in Free Speech other than from their talking points. How can we even think they would understand statements such as the one above concerning hat the market has repeatedly already shown?
Obama placed his hand on Lincoln’s Bible and swore under oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States of America. What he is now doing is TREASON. There is no other way to describe it.
Rush just needs satellite access which the Chinese would probably happily provide…
BTW, Google is on the panel because they have experience with wholesale censorship.

Well, it’s so obvious. In a market where there are 10 Hip-Hop stations, 10 Top 40, 5 CW, 3 Easy Listening, 3 Classic Rock, 1 Classical, 1 NPR and 1 Conservative Talk, it’s the Conservative Talk station that must change formats.
Good friggin’ grief.
It’s a good thing I have a shortwave already. I’ll be able to tune in Radio Free Rush when he’s forced to transmit from a pirate station anchored outside the territorial waters.
actually they flubbed the first try and the second was behind closed doors. So, the non citizen Odopey when caught in his big lie can deny he ever took the oath. lol.
Satellites! Rush is rich enough to put one of his own in orbit.
I don’t trust it. XM/Sirius might still be bullied.
xler8bmw said (#30):
The first amendment governs the use of privately owned media — printing, cable, etc. The G-d given electromagnetic spectrum used for broadcast radio and TV should be public property (IMHO).
happyscrapper said (#32):
In a heartbeat. The same principle applied. By the way, not that it matters, but I find Air America as tiresome as Laura Ingram, just less factually challenged.
happyscrapper said (#53):
First, Obama hasn’t done anything yet. There is talk that he might do something. Second, suppose he does propose a return to the fairness doctring, so what? We had that for decades without provoking a Soviet takeover.
No, it doesn’t.
The First Amendment makes no distinction between public and private…none whatsoever. The language is clear.
Radio is not “public property”, just because you think the airwaves are. The stations that own conservative talk radio are, by and large, private.
The public – by and large – prefers conservative talk radio. Which means sponsors support conservative shows. Which means stations put conservative programming on.
But don’t pretend the First Amendment only protects private matters. Under your line of thinking, anything said or done in public – or in places supported by public dollars (including schools, parks, churches) – is exempt from First Amendment protections.
If you choose, you can check your Constitutional rights at the door of your house. For the rest of us, the sane ones, we prefer that the First Amendment maintain its original intent: to be applied everywhere.
Dexter Alarius: Short wave sounds like a winner. Are you ham radio too? I have some friends who are ham radio operators-I’ll have to ask.
Radio Free of Liberals America? Sounds like a winner to me–but I am an extremist and such.

This is a subject that is dear to my heart and any interference would disrupt my daily schedule greatly.
I’m in danger of becoming one of those one issue voters that I have always held in great destine.
Since I’m already named as near criminal by homeland security just because I exist, I look at just what the Obama regime has to gain. He has already demonstrated he has the capacity to destroy a viable industry for their pile of money. Think he may award deserving correctly thinking stations under his template for a cut and raise not qualifying owners license fees to punitive rates.
Its already been said. He just wants to shut people up and take away their choices.
You gotta love a happyscrapper
Not really, but I was a comm technician in the Air Force and enjoy poking around the spectrum occasionally. I have a nice Kenwood receiver on which I can tune in VOA, WWV (for a hack), and some other freqs.
Since visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum by your definition the ability to view anything should be controlled by the public.
Only tyrants fear the free discussion and expression of ideas and opinions.
englishqueen01 said (#63):
Airwaves are public because if the government has to restrict access. If everyone could broadcast on any frequency, nobody would be able to hear anything. So now we have a situation where the government is restricting access to frequencies so that right wing hate sewage can flow freely.
fify
You’re really thick, aren’t you, lgm?
First and foremost – prove your assertion. Prove how regulating the access to frequencies is the same thing as dictating the content of programs.
What you conveniently fail to grasp – time and again – is that the public has already decided what the content of talk radio should be: they vote with their dials time and again and prefer conservative talk radio. So your entire argument that the “public” should have a say is a straw man at best. The public has already spoken and the prefer conservative talk radio. They don’t like liberal talk radio. That’s a failure of liberals…so perhaps you should really be gripping to the likes of Al Franken and Randi Rhodes for being such utter disasters with the medium. That’s not our fault.
But, of course, your definition of “public” is this asinine “diversity panel” made up of like-minded liberals. A minority who will take away the jobs of many at radio stations, the rights of the host, and the free choice Americans make to listen to talk radio under the specious guide of “diversity.”
Second, please prove how the First Amendment makes any distinction between public and private speech and how it allows for the government to police the content of political talk shows.
And, as someone else said, anything else broadcast or aired in public automatically falls under your definition of “public” and therefore controllable by the government. Several radio stations, for example, provide live broadcasts of religious services on Sundays for those who are homebound or otherwise unable to get to church. Would you eliminate that, too? Is that “spewing hate” on the airwaves?
You have no Constitutional leg to stand on. Which seems to be the modus operandi of liberals. The Constitution only means something to you when you want it to; otherwise, it’s a burden that can be spat upon and ignored.
But by all means, keep it up. Liberals may live lives clouded by delusion, but Obama and the liberals are going to cross a line that will make things crystal clear for the public – and it will not bode well for them in 2010 or 2012.
Aside from being wrong, if your argument applied, then the government could control speech on any public property. Such as schools where Professors teach drivel. Parks, Courthouses…
Do liberals really want to advocate for an America where free speech and freedom of expression are regulated by the government? If they do, they should be mindful that Democrats will not always be in power.
Also, you may want to Google the Radio Act of 1927. After reading your responses to EQ, I think you’ll see where you went wrong and where you misinterpreted the delineations between public and private, in reference to broadcast airwaves vs. market content.
Hollywood, FM Radio, ABC NBC CBS MSNBC CNN FOX TV(not news), Most Newspapers and major magazines are not enough I guess.
Yes millions of Americans vote with their radio dial and dollars-and that can not be allowed: Dissent can not and will not be allowed. Fairness, Diversity, Hate Speech, Inclusion are all code words for control. Private lives as with private property are not conducive to the collective and will be controlled.
We shall have the “Diversity Panel” to control speech and information
Obama now wants to control all college scholarships and loans
Mandatory voluntary service=“Service Learning” -perhaps as a way to control jobs and college scholarships
Federal control of all medical records
Gun control, Federal mandates for public transportation, Obama controlling auto companies and banks.
I do believe that the possibility of free elections in 2010 is looking slim. With the Obama Administration, Congress and talking heads of MSM inflaming the passions of Gitmo I fear a new terrorist strike we will call our fault and Obama using that as an excuse to declare marshal law. It would be America’s version of Burning of the Reichstag-and thus The Führer Comes to Total Power-a temporary emergency act.
Then they can build William Aryer’s Re-Education and Un-Repentant Population Reduction Camps. And a New World Order will be upon us with no place to flee.
Yes they would, unless they gave Jeremiah Wright of God Dxxn America fame equal time.

Funny you mention that, because a week or two ago Rush Limbaugh held a Cure-a-Thon and gave $400,000 of his own money to the cause. I believe he raised a total of $800,000 to help with cures for leukemia and lymphoma.
Funny how he finds time between “spewing” his “right-wing hatred” to donate money to charity.
