From Casey Research:

Obama has appointed a record number of czars. At least 32 by my count, in charge of everything from the Great Lakes region, California water, green jobs – the list goes on.
.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news, you know that Obama’s Pay Czar Eamon Javers has just announced a 60-day deadline for his judgments for companies on the dole.
And while that’s certainly Orwellian in and of itself, it might just be the smallest reminder of how far we've deviated from "freedom" and all that it entails.
.
Meanwhile, Obama appointed a "diversity czar" to the FCC on July 29.
This new czar, Mark Lloyd, apparently "called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs..."
Which sounds suspiciously like a way to kill off private broadcasting to me. Some of you might remember the advent and eventual death of the Fairness Doctrine – that other Orwellian-monikered initiative to give equal air wave coverage to important issues.
Of course, back in February Obama firmly opposed the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine, but who needs the Fairness Doctrine when there's no privately held media?
.
Doubling the operating costs of privately held radio stations will almost certainly bankrupt a great many of them – leaving the “public’s airwaves†back up for grabs for more state-friendly broadcasters, no doubt.
