FCC targets black conservative in TV station fight

Quote
For years, the Federal Communications Commission has allowed TV stations to execute joint operating agreements allowing themselves to outsource tasks such as advertising sales to group owners with more resources.

But when conservative columnist and entrepreneur Armstrong Williams recently purchased two stations, making him one of America’s few black owners of local TV affiliates, the commission unexpectedly decided to use his acquisition as a test case to review the practice.

The actions — coupled with other recent FCC decisions such as a plan to survey newsrooms that alarmed news media before it was withdrawn — have injected questions about whether a commission set up by Congress to be nonpartisan is now acting with a political litmus test under the Obama administration.

The left always talks about diversity, but when a Black conservative becomes a TV station owner, he is a target of FCC. Where is the cry of racism from the left??????????? Oh, I see, Armstrong Williams is a Black conservative.  :whatever: ::) :bs:

Not like anyone will explain it to the low-information proles, but when The Regime was talking about putting FCC "monitors" in local news rooms, the excuse they were using was that it was an effort to study and promote minority representation in station ownership.

I guess some minorities are more equal than others...  :whatever:

There doesn't seem to be a group that extracts more hatred from the left, than black conservatives.

Republicans really need to start showcasing them.

My current favorites today are Dr. Ben Carson and LTC Allen West.

There is a black female conservative running for Congress in Illinois. She's a Harvard lawyer, and a former Miss America. http://www.erikaharold.com/

She has been attacked by both the left and the good old boy establishment RINO's.

The left majors in minorities.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
