We already have a local public access channel that features Farrakhan, the ACLU, 9/11 “truthers,” local music, Hispanic shows, Hawaiian shows, gay shows, “Democracy Now!”, religious shows, Islamic shows, etc. And we have stations run by local government showing public hearings, etc. The University of Washington has a station. There are one or two Hispanic channels on cable. There’s plenty of diversity. What this guy wants to do is target conserative views. So, once again, Obama is lyign when he says he opposes the fairness doctrine. He wants to re-introduce it by subterfuge, under the Orwellian principle of “diversity.”

They do no mean that sort of diversity - the whole diversity thing is a ruse any way. They want to make it impossible to have any discussions on radio beyond approved ones - every side in every arguement will have to be represented on every show - how many sides are there to any arguement?

Right - more Hussein’s weasel words. He isn’t lying that way. There is no subterfuge here - you know about the appointment and what the guy stands for, so where’s the beef? It all in the open.

He can’t help what some regulator decides is in your best interest, now can he?
