Some are calling it the outrage of outrage. The American Center for Law and Justice warned an Obama administration plan via an FCC proposal, to send Government monitors to newsrooms all across the US, including both TV and Radio.
The government proclaims that they want to measure the difference between what the public wants to hear when they turn on a News station, and what broadcasters are actually delivering. If the plan actually gets implemented, every national and state level newsroom would be nothing but a mouthpiece for the Government, hampering integrity of the independency of the press, and be against the very first amendment of the constitution.
Noted lawyer, Jay Sekulow, and highly successful free speech and civil rights attorney, was very vocal about his discontentment regarding the probable plan. He expressed his concern on the social media, his radio and TV show, and will be featured on Fox News soon.
ACLJ radio, the broadcasting home of Jay Sekulow has even gone on to create a petition, encouraging the public to stand against this fundamentally wrong concept, and help retain the independency of the media, who should be allowed to do their job without any external ‘monitoring.’
