Sen. Rockefeller: FCC Should
Take FOX News, MSNBC Off AirwavesSEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little
bug inside of me which wants
to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would
be
a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in
Congress,
and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some
faith in their government and more importantly, in their future." Posted on

Rockefeller Suggests Eliminating FOX, MSNBC
Ryan G. Murphy, RTDNA Digital Media Editor
I was
very disappointed to wake up this morning and see a video
of Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) blasting both FOX and MSNBC during a
Cable & Broadcast subcommittee hearing on Wednesday with what appeared to be
a request for government intervention if the network's content is not cleaned
up.
Here's part of Rockefeller's statement: "There's a
little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC:
'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our
ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able
to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more
importantly, in their future."
Rockefeller's statement is concerning for
a number of reasons but the most striking to me is the portion that reads: "It
would be a big favor to political discourse...and to the American
people."
As I'm reading this, Rockefeller is saying that the United
States electorate will be better informed if we ELIMINATE two
major media voices - that getting rid of them would essentially be addition by
subtraction.
Put your own politics on FOX and MSNBC aside for a second
and let's just agree that they can both sometimes present potentially
polarizing
views.
What Rockefeller is suggesting with his statement is that the
views presented on FOX and MSNBC have no place in the news consumers' world
and,
because they are not "quality news," the government should intervene. Simply
put, that's absolute censorship and undermines having a diverse flow of
information in the market. It also destroys market-based competition among the
networks. This is America, right?
Rockefeller failed to point out that
the FCC does not have the authority to regulate either FOX or MSNBC. The
channels are on cable - not broadcast airwaves. It's frustrating to see that he
would even THINK to have the government step in because of content.
As
the New York Times reported, the comments about FOX News and MSNBC were not in
Mr. Rockefellerճ prepared remarks. In those prepared remarks, he also
said:
"When it comes to developing content, our entertainment machine is
too often in a race to the bottom. Even worse, our news media has all but
surrendered to the forces of entertainment. Instead of a watchdog that is a
check on the excesses of government and business, we have the endless barking
of
a 24-hour news cycle. We have journalism that is always ravenous for the next
rumor, but insufficiently hungry for the facts that can nourish our democracy.
As citizens, we are paying a price."
Among the digs in the above
statement, Rockefeller is making a valid, and often discussed point among my
colleagues - a 24-hour news cycle brings with it a vast set of challenges that
require careful planning and extreme adaptability. It appears that during
yesterday's hearing Rockefeller would have done much better if just stuck to
his
script.
Suggesting censorship is not only the easy way out but it also
undermines the point you were trying to make, senator. Healthy political
discourse requires diversity of opinion, not no opinion at all. If there's
something on television you don't like, please just change the channel.

Their tactics rival those of
Al Qaeda: summary executions, kidnappings, torture, and beheadings.
Mexican cartels have
executed more than 10,000 people since January -- five times the rate three
years ago, before Mexican President Felipe Calderon deployed his military
against the syndicates.
“The cartels don’t have to
work like Colombia did for a middle man in Florida or in Texas or anywhere.
They
have people they know,” explained Tony Leal, the chief of the Texas Rangers,
who
spoke to Fox News at the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence
Fusion
Center.
Family and friends help the
cartels move their product with ease across the porous U.S. border. They even
recruit in U.S. prisons.
It’s a $40 billion business
divided among seven cartels: The Arellano Felix Organization, or Tijuana
Cartel,
is based south of San Diego. The Juarez Cartel is situated south of El Paso.
Their war with the rival Sinaloa cartel has left 2,300 people dead in Juarez
this year. La Familia is a pseudo-religious cult that operates as a cartel near
Mexico City. There are also the Zetas, rogue Mexican Special Forces who once
served as the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel in Eastern Mexico. Earlier this
year, they broke away, creating their own cartel. President Obama's team of

Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses
Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a
resolution condemning Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of
Cambodian human rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5 abstentions.
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote
of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces
from Cambodia.
10 UN RESOLUTIONS,(1979-1988) VOTED BY 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES ,CALL VIETNAM TO
CEASE HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA & REMOVE ALL HER TROOPS FROM THE COUNTRY, ARE
NOT RESPECTED AS OF TODAY.
President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General
Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988.
"Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose
freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and
independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops
...."
As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the
call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since
1988.
Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders.
Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once.
