FTA-Obama says, "I'm committed to having the FCC review what our current policies are in terms of media diversification.
FTA-Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., just days ago proposed a "diversity" plan in the U.S. Senate, earning approval from members.

LIBERAL TRANSLATION: We are going to censor Rush Limbaugh and all his conservative counterparts.

  "Media diversification."
  
  That means less consolidation of media in the hands of so few. It means more owners of TV and radio stations.
  
  If you think the mainstream media is biased toward liberals, then why wuldn't you consider splitting up the five or so enormous media conglomerates that control mainstream media by owning several TV and radio stations and newspapers a good thing? After all, it would increase the number of viewpoints expressed, and break up that so-called liberal monopoly on the media.
  
  Can you explain to me how this will "censor Rush Limbaugh and all his conservative counterparts"?
