FCC Abandons Diversity, Embraces Rupert Murdoch

New America Media / Free Press, News Report, Joseph Torres, Posted: Nov 20, 2012

Days before the election, President Obama told an Iowa newspaper that if he won a second term, he would owe his victory in large part to how the Republican Party had “alienated” Latino voters.

The president was right. But it wasn’t just Latino voters who made the difference for Obama in 2012; it was a coalition that included women, African Americans and young people that won it for the president — groups often marginalized by our nation’s political and media systems.

So it’s inexplicable that Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski would choose to alienate these very same groups in what could be the first major policy decision of President Obama’s second term.
