Is Jay Rockefeller Married to Anyone Who Might Profit from an FCC Muzzle on Fox and MSNBC?

A wonderful touch of irony hypocrisy to follow up on LCR's piece on Jay Rockefeller wanting to silence Fox and MSNBC. Turns out his wife is heavy into public broadcasting. Can you say, "Conflict of interest"?

Sharon Percy Rockefeller has served the public broadcasting community for more than 25 years as a leader and policymaker. She has been president and CEO of WETA, Washington, D.C.’s flagship public television and radio stations, since 1989. She continues to guide WETA to outstanding accomplishments in broadcasting and production. Before assuming the top post at WETA, she was a member of WETA’s Board of Trustees for seven years and a member of the board of directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for 12 years, including four years as chairman. In 2006, Rockefeller was elected to the PBS Board of Directors for her fifth term.

Quote of the Day: Senator Jay Rockefeller

by the Left Coast Rebel

What is inside the cranial-wiring of a member of the ruling class of the United States that creates an insatiable appetite to control the lives, diets, incomes, futures and even what is seen and heard on the airwaves?

An honest moment from a United States Senator, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia:

"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

No joke. The nonsense before this quote that Rockefeller babbles on about is the height of Orwellian, as well. Watch it:



Imagine if Jim DeMint had said this? X-posted to LCR.
