Lloyd states that we need a system that will "treat all reasonable sides fairly" Who will decide what is reasonable? Lloyd and Co.?

I would'nt trust him 1 inch. His history speaks for itself. I think he is very dangerous for America.

Lenin believed that people were Darwinian animals, and their behavior should be molded by government into ideal servants of the State. He even tried to employ Ivan Pavlov, the famous Russian animal behaviorist, to develop a "program" to "standardize the behavior of the proletariat. Pavlov was absolutely shocked! And if they didn’t comply with this "education", they were killed! In those times, the education was largely visual : ) Sweet!

@WorkingMotherof2

Of course the origins of this idea came from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said people’s educations should be limited and molded to make them “good servants of the State”! Karl Marx inherited this concept through his father, a Rousseauan professor at the Univ. of Berlin. Mark Lloyd is simply a disciple of Lenin! As William Ayers said, if we can’t re-educate them, then we will eliminate them; 25 million or so!

GET READY FOLKS..... They are getting ready to set regulations for the Internet.

We will see our Internet, freedom of speech, taken away, by the end of next week..... and they will not allow ANY dissent to the Obama administration's views.

[kronosgyros]

America. Notice that his examples of bias are all right leaning. The left is even more guilty of bias in media but he and other democrats will not recognize it as bias, therefore, when they do pass "fairness doctrine" the fairness will mean if you don't present our view, you must allow us to present it, but as we present our view (lefty view) it is mainstream and not biased and needs no presentation by opposition. They will silence opposition media like Chavez with this.

yeah pizzaboyserious, there has always been diversity throughout the 20th century and beyond. Where is the lack of diversity?

[freedombase]

America is not a democracy America is a Constitutional Republic the founding fathers did not support a democracy they started a republic

Well I did click "Not Spam" but not sure how this system works. So somebody succeeded in censoring somebody's post.  I know the feeling. Whoever it was, hope you're proud of yourself. When you have no argument besides muzzling voices you don't want to hear, then you have no argument. But there's a lot of that going on.

And that really is the whole point here.
