Obama’s FCC diversity engineers strike again
By Michelle Malkin • May 18, 2009 11:08 PM

The diversity-mongers on Barack Obama’s FCC bean-counting panel don’t like how a private radio ratings system is working out for their pet stations.
So they’re putting pressure on the government to make Arbitron change its measurement tools to ensure politically correct results.
Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer reports.

Who needs the Fairness Doctrine? The race-based enforcers on the FCC are in the house.

Maybe after they change the "measurement standards", Al Franken can go back to Air America and find out that him and his 37 listeners comprise the largest and most successful radio station on the planet

Laughter in the hall of mirrors. More fiction and delusion compliments of the political left. They preach about objectivity and the scientific method but they sure don't like to practice it.

I'm still trying to figure out why they need to regulate anything on this.... the far left has already got almost every air wave in existence blowing full tilt now.

I guess anyone's differing opinion is just too much to take. Facts are very inconvienient, after all.

I sure do like the way Michelle writes

Yet I did hope for more in this one than a redirect.

So, they want to use a less accurate measurement to determine listenership.
It seems that if an under listened to radio station receives a higher rating due to a smaller sampling size, wouldn't a highly listened to station receive an even higher rating, if the sampling audience is not intentionally manipulated ??

The idea of changing the rating system, could in effect show that the smaller audience is still the smaller audience, couldn't it ??

So why change ??
I suspect there is a financial kickback in progress, or a deceptive practice that might occur, if this becomes the new method of rating these stations.

OHH ... I get it !!

It's just another government intervention system designed to protect this weeks favorite company, and gain manipulative control over another segment of the ... Once-Free-Market
