Folks I would not take his remarks lightly. I have always said that once the Democrats control both houses of congress and the presidency, the first thing they are going to do is try and restore the "Fairness Doctrine" to the media. This law said basically, the airwaves had to offer both sides equally of controversial issues.. The FCC dissolved it in 1987 after being the law for nearly 40 years. For more about the "Fairness Doctrine" go here:http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/F/htmlF/fairnessdoct/fairnessdoct.htm

If you let most MarxistSocialistLiberalDemocrats talk long enough..their true colors will come thru. The problem is getting the "deafdumb&blind" sheeple to notice..what their "leaders" are actually saying.

I would expect there to be an effort to destory conservative media outlets when the next Democrat assumes the White House. I know Al Gore for one has a bone to pick with conservative media outlets. And Dems realize there recent failures have had a lot to do with the influence of a conservative media outlets. This is why I implore all Freepers to be heartened and staunchly support the GOP efforts to maintain the White House. Otherwise you may lose more of your money, your guns, your favorite news outlets, and even possibly your property.

Welp, now we know what kind of Pres. Dean will make.

A fascist one.

Even Alan Keyes or other ultra-conservatives wouldn't want to shut down the mangestream media.

[TLI]

"Eleven companies in this country control 90 percent of what ordinary people are able to read and watch on their television,"

Well, well, isn’t that just so elitist! All the time with the libs they have the attitude of looking down on the "ordinary Americans" Anyone remember emperor klintonius referring to "ordinary Americans" having "too many freedoms?"

[leadpencil1]

Howard Dean For Amerika!

[VRW Conspirator]

wOw

[Redwood71]

The stupidity about this is he can't do it. That would violate freedom of expression and speech from the Constitution. Even Dean isn't that stupid...well......

[scott7278]

Scary liberal ping.

The #1 reason I vote Republican is because I believe a Democratic victory would result in wholesale government harassment of conservative media. In the 90's we had the "hush rush" laws and the shameful justice deparment vendetta against The American Spectator.

This thread bolsters that conviction.

[Moby Grape]

Would he break up Time-Warner and Viacom? Would he break up Hollywood?

[yoe]

Rush pointed this out a few minutes ago plus the fact that Dean referred to Russia as the Soviet Union along with all the Dems wanting us out of Iraq and the United Nations in -even ‘tho the 187 member rogue organization has failed to comply with their Security Council to clean up terrorism in their countries.

Dean and the rest also miss the fact that as of now, the US has an air base in the Mid East for the first time ever! Which will serve to keep terrorists countries on the alert, China, Korea, Russia, Iran, Arabia and the rest of the unrest on their toes.

Dean is stupid! He never mentioned breaking up Disney (ABC) or Viacom (huge)...The man is as dangerous as Mrs. Clinton and not at all interested in America as a Republic - just Americans who will give to his campaign and are Democrats. Forget the rest of us!

[biblewonk]

This guy is a stitch.

[ZULU]

This man is dangerous, and the liberal left is out to shut down the voice of opposition to CBS, NBC, ABC, Turner and WNBC.

Also, did you catch the face of the bloated slob looking over Dean's shoulder?

That's right, it was the Meathead - from All in the Family.
Liberals never go away, they just older, dumber and fatter
(look at Ted Kennedy).

[Justin714]

I personally think Dean is doing us a huge favor by continuing to make idiotic statements like this. He's starting to show his true color as a Communist.

[Liberty Valance]

This is amazing. Guess he'd be telling us what to read as well. He wants to be President? A chill wind blows indeed.

[international american]

Fox News: "We will keep reporting Dean's idiotic statements until he self destructs"

[tubavil]

Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean pledged Monday night to "break up" the Fox News Channel along with other conservative news outlets...

Well Zeig Heil Mein Fuhrer! Maybe a trip to Israel to see how it is done in practice is in order. Remember, you must first make the 'incitement' and 'hate crime' laws.

[tubavil]

He'd start with smaller and less well-funded fry first, like FR.
