Liberals Not Outraged By FCC Media Monitoring: first Amendment rights aren't worth protecting for Conservatives

Any freedom-loving person would be outraged at the attempt by the Federal Communications Commission to inject itself into monitoring the practices of print and broadcast media organizations, but the outrage came almost exclusively from conservatives, which is highly instructive...

Simply put, everyone should object to this proposed action, and the fact that only conservatives did shows they are the only ones acting as freedom’s guardians. That liberals didn’t object is bad but is made much worse by their opinion that conservatives’ objection is itself objectionable.

If blindly ideological liberals had a clue, they’d understand that the primary reason conservatives object is not their fear that certain media outlets will be exposed as unfairly conservative. Conservatives strenuously oppose the proposed action because it is such a threat to our First Amendment liberties, and any government that would even casually contemplate such a move is one to be greatly feared – and beaten back.
