January 17, 2008 at 00:30:34 Call the FCC and FEC re TV Fascism Programming the Election Process by Jay Janson Page 1 of 1 page(s)  | |   |
Call FCC & FEC! Complain of the incredible misuse of public owned airwaves, only leased to NBC, FOX, ABC.
Not only Kucinich, Gravel and Paul supporters should call the Federal Communications Commission 888 225 5322 and the Federal Elections Commission 202 649 1000. All Americans that believe elections should be fair should call.
It is the two commissions' malfeasance that emboldens the media conglomerates to continue to criminally misuse the public owned frequencies, frequencies they only lease every eight years. It is no exaggeration to see this as a example of fascism, wherein conglomerate corporations control media, control commissions appointed to oversee media complaisance with laws protecting the public, and control the majority of congressmen elected who approve the appointment of the members of the FCC and FEC. Fascism is not just people getting beat up in the street - that comes later.
Dennis is the only candidate against all the wars of occupation and corporate governance at home. Sure, call NBC, but also call the FCC and FEC. FCC fax is 866 418 0232
Bad enough the most money buys the most coverage and exposure for wealthy or corporate backed candidates. Bad enough CNN and company micro-manage what to highlight about the candidates they wish to promote or demote. Bad enough those candidates critical of the corporate governance, the wars of occupation and capitalist health care insurance have their views blocked from public view. Giving free prominence to media's picked candidates by eliminating others from the public debates falsely labeled as e.g. "The Democratic Party Candidates Debate" could not be 'legally' done without the complicity of the FCC and the FEC - the Nevada Supreme Court overruling a lower courts injunction in Kucinich's favor not withstanding.
The FCC and FEC have statutes to comply with under congressional law. Call 'em! Dennis Kucinich, please keep taking them to court!
