The American Center for Law and Justice is warning of an
Obama administration plan to place government monitors in newsrooms via
an FCC proposal that could turn every major news network and newspaper
into little more than a state media mouthpiece.
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai recently lifted the lid on
a shocking White House proposal entitled ‘Multi-Market Study of
Critical Information Needs’ that would dispatch researchers from the
federal agency “to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how
they decide which stories to run.”
According to Pai, the program is about “pressuring media
organizations into covering certain stories.” In other words – the
fairness doctrine on steroids.
“That’s right, the Obama Administration has developed a
formula of what it believes the free press should cover, and it is going
to send government monitors into newsrooms across America to stand over
the shoulders of the press as they make editorial decisions,” writes
the ACLJ’s Matthew Clark, noting that the plan would also extend to newspapers, which the FCC doesn’t even have any business being involved with.
