The Fox Farewell

How O'Reilly & friends will vanish
from cable in a second Obama term.

By M P E Lennon



Synopsis: This is a scenario of the impact of an Obama second term on the media. It introduces the stress of a progressive rule on free speech and popular personalties of Fox programs.

Excerpt


By the beginning of 2016, the American people will have lost two major freedoms that are considered essential to a free society - the freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression.

Many will consider this mere speculation but it is not. Is in fact a result of the process of futuring, the same kind of futuring that enterprises from the largest corporations to economic think tanks to government entities use in order to get some kind of an idea of the future coming at us in these uncertain times. Of course no one can predict the future with certainty; futuring attempts to get the best reasoned forecast using methodologies borrowed from many fields of study in both the sciences and non-science fields such as art and design. The following is a technique of futuring called a scenario. A scenario is one of the tools of modern futuring that helps us imagine a path, to put flesh and bones in a story from the present to the future. It’s like a screenplay with real characters like Obama, Pelosi, Boehner, Romney and events like elections and the aftermath.

Futuring the Broadcasting Sector. A New Aggressive Agency.

Far more aggressive measures will be launched by both FCC and through a rather new innovation in agency control devised by the administration under the guise of "consumer protection." They will start to act at the beginning of 2013 and will become full blown by 2015.

When Obama and company came to Washington in 2009, they began what was a longstanding progressive dream- to curtail freedom of the press. It’s certainly true that other White House administrations had their problems with news organizations, but in the case of the Obama progressives it was different. They threatened the very existence of critical public expression, and the insidious strategy to bring Fox down will go a long way to accomplishing that.

Violation of broadcasting standards such as depriving community non-profits and minority groups of broadcast expression will incur criminal penalties. Hearings and trials will result. The big names of the Fox era will be happy to run from the media in exchange for whatever liberty they may enjoy in Obama Two. The folks, as we’ll see, will shortly be looking out for themselves.

Fox Demise.

By Nov 2014, Fox will be a much changed entity. By January 2015, the former cable news source for millions will be virtually unrecognizeable.

In the United States, by the end of 2015, there will be no major organization critical of progressive agenda.
