FCC Chief Diversity Officer Rejects ‘Communist’ Label - Washington Wire - WSJ: "Federal Communications Commission Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd broke his silence Monday on conservative criticism of his past writings, saying he’s tired of the death threats and being labeled “a communist.”
“I’m speaking up for myself,” Lloyd told reporters after a morning speech on “Social Media, Net Neutrality and the Future of Journalism” sponsored by Media Access Project, a media-focused advocacy group.
“Allow me to clear away some mud: I am not a czar appointed by President Obama. I am not at the FCC to restore the Fairness Doctrine through the front door or the back door, or to carry out a secret plot funded by George Soros to get rid of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or any other conservative talk show host,” Lloyd said during the event.
“I am not at the FCC to remove anybody, whatever their color, from power. I am not a supporter of Hugo Chavez. The right wing smear campaign has been, in a word – incredible, generating hate mail and death threats. It is the price we pay for freedom of speech. And I do support free speech.”"
