Obama's Diversity Czar Thinks Broadcasting Is Too White

America is too white, according to some diversity enthusiasts. One Obama czar takes the direct approach.

President Obama's diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to "step down" in favor of minorities, prescribed policies to make liberal talk radio more successful, and described Hugo Chavez's rise to power in Venezuela "an incredible revolution."

Mark Lloyd's [1] provocative comments - most made during a tenure at the liberal Center for American Progress [2]think tank - are giving fodder to critics who say Mr. Obama has appointed too many "czars" to government positions that don't require congressional approval. They are also worrying to some conservatives who fear the FCC might use its powers to remove their competitive advantage on talk radio and television.

Remember this is the guy with some authority over talk radio.
