Time to abolish the FCC?

FCC commissioners demand authority over campaign financing, free Internet.  Of course the FCC under the Obami has two left members so it's not surprising that an unprecedented state power grab is underway.  Of course it will diminish our freedoms first.  And then the rent seeking phase will come.  Lots of lawyers making lots of money once again.  Bust it up.  Bust it all up.
Here’s your FCC at work, ensuring that freedom of speech and property rights are defended on America’s airwaves. Just kidding! The Blaze and Naked Emperor News has two clips of FCC commissioners demanding unprecedented authority over prior restraint of speech and seizure of private property in order to satisfy their ideas of — you guessed it — “diversity.” First we have Michael Copps, who last week demanded not only the authority to enforce campaign-finance reform (usually the purview of the FEC), but also the authority to order music stations to broadcast news shows, and for networks to give up 25% of prime-time air to locally-produced shows.
