Julius Genachowski, the new Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has chosen Jen Howard to serve as his spokesperson and liaison with the press.
For the past three years, Lewis has worked at Free Press, a tax-exempt "media reform" organization whose chief objective is to move the media ever-farther to the political left.
The work of Free Press has been praised by the likes of the radical professor and Marxist, Howard Zinn. Speakers at Free Press conferences have included Al Franken (the new U.S. Senator who detests conservatives); Jane Fonda (who openly sided with America's communist enemy during the Vietnam War); Bill Moyers( the television personality who has long promoted leftwing groups and causes); and Medea Benjamin (the pro-Castro antiwar activist who founded Code Pink: Women for Peace).
"Of special concern to talk radio," explains Randall Bloomquist at Talk Frontier in his post about the Lewis appointment, is that "Free Press is a big proponent of diversity of media ownership and 'inclusiveness' in broadcast news and content."
Given her background, it's likely that Jen Howard is sympathetic to plans aimed at censoring conservative talk radio, such as "localism" (which has been called President Obama's "New Fairness Doctrine").

Are you literally insane?
It's difficult to find a place to start picking apart such absurdity. Is this a paying gig?
