In the latest partisan escalation on the Federal Election Commission, a top Democratic commissioner has ripped a Republican commissioner's bid to protect books, radio and Internet media from regulation as "pitiful."
Ann Ravel, a former FEC chairwoman, joined other Democrats at a meeting this month to block Republican Lee Goodman's proposal to explicitly expand the "press exemption" from regulations to books, satellite radio and Internet-based news media.
In pushing his plan aside, Ravel said that she didn't have enough time to consider Goodman's proposal.
Goodman noted that the proposal has been under consideration for a while.
Goodman told Secrets that the latest attack on his proposals again show that Democrats are hostile to free press rights generally and in the past he has noted their antagonism to conservative media which is heavily internet based and on the radio, including Sirius/XM. Ravel's "pitiful" comment appeared to refer to conservative news attention to Goodman's proposal.

"...FEC Democrats are trying to regulate conservative media, especially news outlets and news aggregators like the Drudge Report that are online." Hillary is in favor of these regulations because conservative news outlets expose her evil deeds. They would also target blogs such as this one.
