If they are going to regulate talk radio, then they should also censor the TV network news.

Which was what they were saying on DU ... "Oh, don't pass the Fairness Doctrine because they will demand time on NPR! Blech!

Oh but they already self-censor themselves, when was the last time you saw goodnews from Iraq? So you see there’s no need. We do however have to do something about the (cue the ominous music) evil ultra/extremeist/radical/hate filled rightwing talk radio

The dems just had to know that were they to hold hearings on the subject, it would bring out thousands of sound and TV bites showing TV “news” positing commentary under the guise of news and other examples of liberal BS!!

Radio stations would scream bloody murder and ask for millions in compensation and PBS would be defunded in a heartbeat (which should happen anyway).

State Run Colleges, Universities and Hollywood too.

If they regulate talk radio, I want to see equal air time for Conservatives in the NY Times, Berkley, and Fahrenheit 911.

Actually I think there’s a pretty strong national security case to be made for censoring TV network news. Unfortunately, the Wimp in the White House isn’t willing to go there.
