‘Curtailing speech and expression in the name of decency. “This is how it always begins. When will people wake up and realize that they have no right to decency on the airwaves? “

You don’t have a RIGHT to broadcast using public airwaves. Applying a level of decency to the public airwaves is not curtailing free speech.

I suppose you also support the Fairness Doctrine?

Umm, no, I support anyone saying anything they please over the airwaves, which is the polar opposite of the so-called fairness doctrine. And the airwaves aren’t “public”.

If the Fairness Doctrine is enforced, it may be that the ONLY way we’ll hear Conservative radio of ANY kind might be through pirate stations.

The way things are going....
