I’ve been spotlighting various members of the speech-stifling “media justice” mob over the past few weeks (here and here).
They are Marxist-inspired activists seeking to crack down on conservative political speech under the guise of combating “hate” and crusading for “diversity.”
Remember:
“Social justice” = redistribution of wealth and economic “rights.”
“Media justice” = redistribution of speech and First [...]

Witch hunt.

My syndicated column today (reprinted below) probes the FCC/left-wing church alliance to silence conservative critics of illegal immigration through “hate speech” regulation. Tip of the iceberg.
Jeffrey Lord at the American Spectator first broke the story of how United Church of Christ officials met with kindred spirit/FCC Commissioner Michael Copps earlier this month before launching a [...]

The criminalization of conservative speech has been a recurring theme on this blog.
In particular, I’ve spotlighted the efforts of open-borders groups to marginalize, criminalize, and demonize those of us who have raised our voices for years about lax immigration enforcement — and to impose a Fairness Doctrine-style policy on amnesty opponents.
Keep all that in mind [...]

In case you missed it yesterday, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck spotlighted Team Obama’s direct and indirect threats to free speech — and how the Fairness Doctrine (or some stealthier form of it) might be reinstituted.
Watch the whole thing.
Rush has the full transcript. An excerpt:

The diversity-mongers on Barack Obama’s FCC bean-counting panel don’t like how a private radio ratings system is working out for their pet stations.
So they’re putting pressure on the government to make Arbitron change its measurement tools to ensure politically correct results.
Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer reports.
Who needs the Fairness Doctrine? The race-based enforcers on [...]

I mentioned President Obama’s new FCC “diversity” panel earlier this week. Well, they met yesterday. And it was every bit as bad as expected.
FCC Chairman Michael Copps denied that the panel would move to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. But the social engineering/racial bean-counting efforts are underway.
Moreover, Judicial Watch yesterday announced that it had obtained documents [...]

Skin-deep.

Not a….good day.

Gag me.

”They said, ‘It’s because of the sign in your window.’”

Nightmare on Capitol Hill.

You know grass-roots conservatives on talk radio and in New Media are getting under the Democrats’ skin when they publicly renew their Fairness Doctrine agenda again.
See.
Loud Folks, keep cranking it up.

Vigilance.

Gag me.

Radio Equalizer’s Brian Maloney reports on the latest attempt by leftist speech-chillers to level the talk radio playing field…by suing conservative talk radio hosts to shut them up and shut them down:
