did my post on FCC wanting to be in news rooms get booted?

[Dand]

I made a post  with links about the FCC trying to do "studies" and "surveys" in the nation's news rooms.  But I don't see it here now.

Was I out of line some how or>

Sure concerns me to read that stuff in Wall Street Journal, Fox as well as some lesser known outlets that seem more extreme.

Since earlier today I have found this item:


FCC Backs Off Study of Newsroom Editorial Practices  GOP said study violated freedom of the press  By Katy Bachman   

• February 12, 2014, 9:37 AM EST         Federal Communications Commission is quietly changing course on a controversial study after parts of the methodology were roundly criticized by GOP lawmakers and commissioner Ajit Pai for encroaching into editorial decisions and content at TV stations.

The Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs, which aimed to help the commission figure out how to lower entry barriers for minorities in broadcasting, may now be on hold. At the very least, the controversial sections of the study will be revisited under new chairman Tom Wheeler and incorporated into a new draft.
Regardless of the study's intent, it's hard to fathom why the FCC sent its minions into newsrooms of the stations it licenses and ask questions about how stations exercise their First Amendment right.............

  Barry has already said out Bill of Rights..is a "charter of negative rights".  Of course whatbhe meant by "negative" was the fact that the Bill of Rights guarantees some rights to the people as opposed to a tyrannical government.  Or at least they were guaranteed until the current administration got in!
  He is working to destroy the 4th amendment (privacy), the 2nd amendment and now, the first amendment!

    Hard to believe, but some people are still drinking the koolaid !

No, it was moved to the political section.   This section is designed for topics that are not about politics,  politicians, or those likely to lead to a political debate.
