FCC appoints “Chief Diversity Officer” to Circumvent “Fairness Doctrine”

From Jillian Bandes at Townhall:

Mark Lloyd has recently been appointed “Chief Diversity Officer” at the Federal Communications Commission. Conservative groups believe his installation is merely another way to impose the dangerous principles contained in the Fairness Doctrine.

Lloyd is a longtime Democrat activist who has strategized about ways to censor conservative media under the guise of “local accountability.” In 2007, he co-wrote a report that called for, among other things, the restoration of local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations and fines for commercial radio station owners if their stations didn’t air enough “progressive” content.  [Read More]

This appointment is just another way for the Democrats to interject unconstitutional policies into the lives of the American people.  If “progressive” talk radio was what Americans wanted to hear, it would be just as  popular as conservative talk radio; yet this has not been the case.  It is obvious that the Obama Administration knows that, like healthcare, Americans don’t want the fairness doctrine.  But just as the White House is shoving Nationalized Healthcare down our throats, they will persist to enact the “fairness doctrine” with or without our endorsement.
