Google, Yahoo and Facebook are no shows, for an Obama Luncheon in which he laid out the regulatory foundation for the beginnings of socialist control of our airwaves.

Editor’s notes:  At the end of last week,  Obama invited the “big three,” among other cyber giants,  to his effort to enlist web-media types as he works for “net-neutrality”  and the beginnings of a federal take-over of the Net.  

Revenge Politicians such as H Obama,  see a real and existential danger in a free Internet that allows conservative opinion to flourish because such opinions are popular and commands profitability that is not,  typically,  extended to liberal  commentary. 

Net Neutrality,  is an effort to lessen the influence of conservative talk,  by pretending a concern for consumer protections,  and  "fairness" as to all ethnicities represented (potentially) in given regions across the nation.  Couple these considerations,  with a regulatory demand that private media stations and the Web,  allow for Cambodian Talk,  Liberal (and very unpopular talk), Hispanic talk, Black talk (that is other than "mother f****r" in content),  Japanese talk,  Chinese talk, Hindu talk,  and on and on,  ()depending upon the ethnic demographics of a given region),  and you have the beginning of the end for commercial radio and television.   

Obama's plan would (eventually) end private media ownership.  How so, you may ask?   Well,  if a 24 hour period must be equally divided among the various ethnicities in a region,  private media ownership would have to give away most of that time understanding that advertiser would not waste their money on insignificant market "opportunities."  Advertisement,  of course,  is the life blood of any capital enterprise.  No media outlet can afford this type of "fairness."   

You need to know that,  typically,  when it comes to talk media,  the only program that makes money for a media outlet is "conservative talk."  And that,  is a serious problem to the Thin Skins defining present day Utopianism.    

Here,  in the Central Valley of California,  we have several radio stations that feature political talk.  One has the second largest market in the United States.  That station has repeatedly  tried to diversify its programming,  bringing in the Larry King Show,  for example,  and giving it a prime-time spot  (6 to 9 pm),  five days a week.  No one listened,  and in six months,  the station had to cut its losses and move on.  We have seen Air America come to town,  here and across the nation.  That was a serious effort at imitating the style and energy of conservative talk.  It lasted parts of two years,  and never made a profit   . . . . .    and that was a 24/7 effort.  Look at CNN,  MSNBC,  and HLN,  on cable television.  They have to rely on "Wait !!   There is more" advertising,  and crime related documentaries,  to survive.  Imagine,  a program selling mops with a "two for one" special,  makes more money on liberal cable news media than their version of the news.  Kind of funny,  no?  

And,  so,  Obama and the rest of the Utopian/Marxist related crowd,  wants to force diversified programming in the name of "fairness to all."  If this were to happen,  legislatively or via FCC regulations,  the dominance of conservative talk,  something the people obvious want,  would be cut by as much as 80%.  There are some 26 ethnic populations in my Central Valley.  Can you imagine what would happen to talk radio?  It would be gone and,  so too, the "fairness opportunity" Obama and the scheming Utopians claim they want.  

Publicly subsidized radio (PBS for example) would be the only media concern left for public consumption,  and who in the hell listen to that?  I mean,  there are at least six PBS stations broadcasting out of San Francisco,  and millions of liberals,  yet none of those PBS outlets make enough advertising money to pay for their programming.  None.    

And now you know why I have repeatedly said,  "Joe McCarthy was right."  The little commie roaches were everywhere back in the 50's,  and have only increased by x10, since then.   Time tested but failed ideas,  no concept as to how to expense money,  and Utopian Fantasies that deny the existence of evil and the need for war, that is what we have coming from the White House and look at what a mess we are in.  

Back to that meeting of cyber saints:  Google,  Facebook and Yahoo "heads of state" refused Obama's invite,  and stayed away from this meeting.  Such is huge,  and tells the onlooker just how out of touch Obama is as to the theory of "profitability" and the dangers of over-regulation.  The meeting had its notable attendees including Apply,  but,  when the big three absent themselves,  knowing full well their socialist leanings,  you know something is seriously wrong in Gotham.    


From Breitbart:  President Obama is hosting a cyber-security summit at Stanford University today, but three of the top tech companies in the United States won’t be represented there.
The White House issued an invitation to Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, and Google executives Larry Page and Eric Schmidt to help bring attention to Obama’s summit, but they turned the invitation down according to Bloomberg News.
The event will feature a speech from Obama and a private lunch with tech officials to highlight new initiatives demonstrating a commitment to cyber-security.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz told reporters aboard Air Force One that the White House was “very pleased” with the participation of the summit although some of the biggest names in the tech community turned down the invitation.

“I think if you look at who will be joining us over the next day or so, you’ll be looking at industry leaders in the tech industry, in the privacy advocacy community, in academia and government, and business leaders from across the board,” Schultz said. “So we are gratified and we welcome their participation.”
