2009 NewSpeak: "Tyrannizing" is "Democratizing"

What....has Mark Lloyd* moved to Venezuela?

Chavez Minister Vows More Radio Closings

Chavez calls this "democracy"....just like Obama's FCC "Diversity Officer" Mark Lloyd!

(George Orwell's 1984 "Newspeak" had nothin' on these guys!)

Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was "democratizing" media ownership.

Reuters reports the "critics" view as though it were just another side of the argument:

Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.

Yeah...forcing voices you don't like off the air is either "democratic" or "limiting freedom of expression".

Com si, com sa....whichever...

How would they report the Holocaust?

Chancellor Adolf Hitler is planning to eliminate all Jews from the Fatherland, saying he will "free" Germany of unsavory, anti-German elements.

Critics say the bloody slaughter of millions of Jews is hellish genocide, against all the laws of God and man.

(We at Reuters don't have an opinion on this matter. We don't take sides in political squabbles.)

And just for the record, what can be more "democratic" than ratings?

*Mark Lloyd, Øbama's new FCC "Diversity Officer" who has publicly professed profound admiration for Chavez's treatment of the media, and is chomping at the bit to do the same thing in America. His idea of "democratizing" the radio stations is exactly the same: Get rid of private ownership, and give total power over all media to the government.

I guess he figures Øbama will stay in office forever. If he believed a Conservative—or even a Republican— would ever be elected again, would he really want the Imperial State running all Media?

Is he just stupid, or does he know something we don't?

Just sayin'.
