Who is Mark Lloyd and why should I care?

The spotlight is on FCC Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd (his official title is not "czar"). Who is Mark Lloyd and why should I care?

-He fundamentally is against any private media ownership.
-He is on record, on videotape, praising Hugo Chavez for taking over media in Venezuela to execute his takeover of Venezuela. He says the United States supported this.
-Diversity defined is not about diversity of opinions.
-He wants private radio to fund public radio, dollar for dollar.
-He is a Senior Fellow from the Center for American Progress. (They represent ultra-leftist views.)
-On the radio an overwhelming number of people prefer to listen to conservative and Christian radio. Mark Lloyd wants to "fix" the problem the free market created.

The questions are: Is our government moving toward regulating free speech and do you want them to?

If the media controls what you hear, will you only hear what the administration decides?

Finally, if the government is going to regulate the media don't the people have a say in who the regulator will be? After all, wasn't that what Congress and the Senate were put there for?
