Media Diversity Czar: Mark Lloyd

NoisyRoom/ "Lloyd wants to control all content on radio, bankrupt Conservative and Christian broadcasting and give it to public broadcasting.

Whose Medical Decisions? Part IV

FCC Diversity Chief Asked Liberals to Copy FDR, Take on Limbaugh, Murdoch, Supreme Court

CNS News "“A pro-big business Supreme Court aligned with Murdoch, Limbaugh, and Zell and ready to battle a progressive in the White House begins to sound a lot like the early years of the FDR administration,” said Lloyd. “Will progressives sound like FDR and commit to creating a media policy that actually serves democracy and promotes diverse and antagonistic sources of news?”"...."Lloyd relies heavily on the left-wing radical Saul Alinsky in explaining his strategy."
