Meet the FCC Diversity Czar
Ernest HancockThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced a new “Chief Diversity Officer,” communications attorney Mark Lloyd.
But Doctor of Jurisprudence Lloyd is far more than merely a communications attorney. He was at one time a Senior Fellow at the uber-liberal Center for American Progress (CAP), for whom he co-wrote a June 2007 report entitled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio.”
Which rails against the fact that the American people overwhelmingly prefer to listen to conservative (and Christian) talk radio rather than the liberal alternative, and suggests ways the federal government can remedy this free-market created “problem.”
* Restore local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations.
* Ensure greater local accountability over radio licensing.
* Require commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public
interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting.

Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Hancock. We have determined there is just not enough diversity on your radio show. Here is our list of approved speakers for the next month. As you can see, you have a wide variety of topics and commentors to choose from such as Maya Angelou, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman.
