The FCC said Verizon and Google are still part of meetings between senior staff and officials at AT&T, Skype, a cable trade association and the Open Internet Coalition. Public interest groups criticized the meetings and the rumored agreement between Verizon and Google for allowing giant Internet firms to have a greater say in the future of how consumers access the Web.

In a continuing push to control the information available to the public on crucial issues, a Soros linked group mockingly named Free Press headed by leftist radical Robert McChesney has enlisted Harmony Institute to help the entertainment industry get a positive message out about the government controlling the internet in the FCC scheme called Net Neutrality.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is working on a bill that would make it much more difficult for the FCC to expand and codify its network neutrality guidelines, and would rein in the FCC’s authority over competition policy in the process by establishing a “competition analysis-based regulatory framework.”

Read up on this issue under MORE in the title bar and scroll down to propaganda. There is a continuing push for government control of all the information you receive. The FCC has been pushing an inappropriately titled ‘Net Neutrality’ to control the internet. The FTC is hiding its agenda under the idea of controlling ‘hate speech’ and people’s right to a leftist opinion even if it takes government funding and government rules to force it on the public.

It’s a frightening thought: government takeover of the media. But having tightened their grip on health care, financial services, and energy, it’s only logical that the Democrats should turn their attention to the media.

Vladeck says Twitter failed to do enough to secure its site, allowing a hacker with a password-guessing program to commandeer customer accounts. After Facebook in April changed its privacy policy in a way that troubled some users, four U.S. senators filed a complaint with the FTC.

These thinly disguised efforts to control news and information are coming from several directions in this administration. The FCC as Net Neutrality’ exposed here, the FTC and congress with the DISCLOSE Act. Keep the government out of the propaganda business.

“In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.” FTC and FCC adviser McChesney of Free Press

Leftist groups are pushing the FTC use taxes to fund a new government media plan. This will be pure propaganda for leftist agendas like NPR that gets $400 milllion a year.

In third world nations, the left would send troops or rioters to TV stations and newspapers to seize complete control of the media. Here they try to do it with the FCC and FTC.
