What do all of these people have in common?

Funny that 'FREE PRESS' wants anything but THAT. They're ALL for 'Net Neutrality'.

OP,

Thanks for your original link! Without that I never would have looked into this any further.

The "chosen ones" are at it again.

No probs. I'm sooooo sick of the propoganda. Thanks goodness my folks talked to me about that in the 60's. It's stuck with me. I didn't believe them at first.....now I know better.

The liberals in the USA learned media take over from Canada. Liberals in Canada bought up most failing newspapers and networks, subsidized them and dictated the
content. You can write a letter to newspapers or state your point of view on their site but if it doesn't match their viewpoint it won't get pulished. they set their fake agenda, like most Canadians favor carbon tax, gay marriage, immigration, political correctness. It's not even true but what can you do, they own the media.

VIVIAN'S MASTER PLAN REVEALED....(April 2010)



"So the idea is: What if it wasn’t just NPR content, but a vast amount of public media content and data that could be available in a large — you know, sort of an API on steroids, a public media platform. Think about NPR content: all the content from the public radio stations, all the content from the other radio producers and distributors like PRI and APM and PRX, all the content from PBS. Now imagine all the content from the other new media players, all the new not-for-profits, like the ProPublicas of the world, and all the local, online journalism startups. And then you can go on and imagine data.

And all of this would be available in a platform: searchable, indexed. It’s not just one big content management system, but the content management systems would talk to each other. And to make that available to — not just as a network, but to networks — to public broadcasting players, to any of the parties that put content in, to community providers, to individual citizen publishers, to software developers. And you imagine, really, a future where you have this incredible network where information and data could be mashed up in ways we can’t even imagine, because there are coders out there that can think about things that I will never think of. And it’s a really, really exciting project.

Schiller: Well, so, Argo is a discrete project that’s a little bit different, but also related. Argo is really a proof of concept, funded by CPB and the Knight Foundation, whereby 12 individual public radio stations in 12 different markets, who are part of this test, each one of them has picked a content area — a topic that is particularly important in their community. So it might be immigration, or energy issues, that kind of thing — very discrete verticals, as some in the news business call it — and the idea is that we’ll be hiring a journalist in each one of those markets, who will be largely an online journalist/blogger, who will be doing both original reporting about that issue in the community and aggregating content. And the idea is: Can this little mini-website, can this, sort of, news blog — can it both address the critical issues through original reporting and aggregation around that topic, and can it attract an audience? So it’ll be testing: Can it attract, and is it a basis for, the various revenue models that support public media?

But the other thing it’ll be testing — and here’s where it connects into the Public Media Platform — is, if each of these markets — their content, of course, will go into the API, which is, again, the forerunner of what will be the Public Media Platform — and as all this content goes into the API, will these local stories become relevant to a national audience? Will other national players in other communities pick it up, maybe marry it with their own related content? And if you imagine this happening, growing into communities all over the country, you can imagine sort of a form of journalism in the collection — sort of, you know, the crowdsourcing, the journalism, journalistic crowdsourcing — I’m mangling this a little bit, especially since I know you have a fellow who’s much more expert on crowdsourcing than I am [ed. note: that's Jeff Howe, author of Crowdsourcing and a 2010 Nieman Fellow] — so that national trends and national stories will emerge that become very, very relevant at the local level but tell a national story.

These people are determined to control mass dissemination of information and to use it to destroy our nation and it's people.
Enough is enough.

OP, I consider you a Cyber-Hero for a post like this - 5*!

WETA in the DC area is run by Senator Nelson Rockefeller's wife Sharon. She struggles along with a $400,928 a year salary and $46,238 in additional bennies. According to their 2009 tax returns, WETA has 11 people earning $167,234 or more. Yep, working at your local PBS pays nicely, very nicely indeed. Should our government be handing them our tax dollars?
