IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS. Now go away.

Lots of bad things happen when a constitutionally-limited national government is transformed into a Nanny State Leviathan.

But one of the worst is when federal bureaucrats — apparently convinced that the rest of us are too stupid to figure it out for ourselves — decide to conduct a "Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs."

The FCC bureaucrats can't bear to know that somebody, somewhere in this country can cover the news without being told how by the nannies in Washington.

My guess is that the liberal mainstream media will welcome the FCC with open arms, calculating that since they're already nosy nanny-staters, they will be unaffected by FCC demands.
