Obama official Mark Lloyd, the new Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has been openly critical of private media companies in Venezuela, where Lloyd believes that Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez is trying to implement a popular democracy.

Lloyd, who worked as a broadcast journalist at NBC and CNN, has come under fire from Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck and Seton Motley of the Media Research Center for his stance.

At the FCC, Lloyd is in a position to try to influence and control media content by making statements and issuing directives on media “diversity” and fairness.

Comments: When is this going to stop? Now we have someone who heads the FCC that wants to emulate Chavez and doesn't like private media companies? Lloyd was media "diversity" and fairness. Excuse me but the broadcast media except for Fox is far left so what diversity? Does he want 100% for Obama and his agenda including lies the media tells along with spin, spin, spin. We have 16.66% of the media (Fox) who are fair and balanced and give us facts not spin and he opposes that?

Someone needs to tell this Administration that this is America which is a Republic not a dictatorship. Wonder how many people that voted for Obama now are not happy with his hope and change taking America toward socialism and his being a dictator like his hero Chavez? They voted for someone who said that was going to be bi-partisan and have a transparent Administration but that has not happened from the "I Won" President. The media was wrong to cover for Obama during the campaign and is wrong to keep covering. America needs to wake up and the next time we are accused of being racist throw it back in their face that we don't care what race or color the President is because we don't like Socialist and Communist now helping run our Government.
