Did Obama Win Or Did We Lose?

When Obama recently told the President of France, "What's good about being President is that you can do anything you want". He was not kidding.
Using the FCC to intimidate the news media he intended to stiffle the freedom of the press. Apparently he is not satisfied with having CNN and MSNBC in his pocket, he wants all the media outlets carrying his water or silenced. According to the administration the purpose of the proposed FCC intervention is to identify and understand the information needs of the American Public especially the vulnerable
and disadvantaged populations, i.e., those dependent on government welfare and handouts.
 The news media are all biased but anyone who thinks that having Obama's FCC make sure the networks are telling the whole story is either stupid or terribly naïve. In reality the networks would be forced into being the mouth piece for the White House. What's at risk for the news outlet that did not cooperate would be the loss of their FCC License.
