Will YOU let it happen...again?

This is is just the start of a campaign against talk radio.
This is insane. This is military programing. You can not have anti military propaganda. This will only achieve what the old equal time doctrine did, it will kill ALL politics. What the libs want. Reagan voted out the equal time bs. So much for praising Reagan.
Can the soldiers do something? Are they allowed to write their reps on this issue?
Ahhhh...
just like PBS and NPR.
I see how it works :)
Hey, if Tokyo Rose was still around the Dems would want to hire her. But I guess Franken is a close enough substitute. (end/sarcasm)
You really have to love these guys, absolutely no shame. It's the same argument with NPR and PBS, certainly, if this goes through then we can expect some big changes within those organizations.
Is NPR on military radio?
Even the british military booted the BBC.
And the Tom Joyner Show isn't even mentioned?!?!?
So now the troops are going to have to listen to NPR and Air America? I thought liberals were against torture.
Harkin and his kind's idea of baalnce is five liberals for every conservative on the radio.
This kind of nonsense has been tried before with the fairness doctrine and the end result was local issues and news not getting any coverage due to burdensome regulations.
It's time for Harkin and his kind to accept reality. THEY ARE NOT THE MAJORITY THOUGHT IN AMERICA, WE, CONSERVATIVES AND CHRISTIANS ARE AND ANYBODY THAT SAYS OTHERWISE IS A BALD FACED PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND HARKIN IS A BALD FACED PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!!!!!!!
Regards.
Dunno the answer to that one but I'd bet they are.
My comment was directed at the fact that gubermint funding of radio is OK as long as it's liberal radio. Once conservative radio appears it has to be banned because it's not "balanced".
What a steamy load from this gasbag Harkin.
I'm sure Rush will speak to it on his show today. Should be interesting.
In all "fairness," Socialist Harkin should also legislate that we give the terrorists the same weapons as the U.S. military. He is another ally of the Clintooooon/Microbright anti-military establishment!
By balance, Tom means truth must be balanced by untruth.
So they want anti-American, anti-military, pro dictatorship, blame America first, pacifist BS crap on Armed Forces Radio. Yeah, that makes sense! < /sarcasm >
They did? Good for them! :-)
Any "balance" provided by the current liberals/left would be the same as the anti-American venom of the former Lord Hah-Hah and Tokyo Rose during WWII and Radio Moscow in later years. For current purposes, to make Harkin and Media Matters happy, they can just pipe Radio Havana into the Armed Forces Network.
No one wants to listen on the radio to the harrangues of the liberal/left in the U.S., so why should they have to in the Armed Forces? The only way the liberals/left can bring about anything like this is through governmental dictate - that is their whole modus operandi, no matter what aspect of life is involved.
The real concern of Harkin and "Media Matters" is the fact that those in the Armed Forces vote overwhelmingly Republican. There assuredly is no love for these men and women from the left.
Does this mean NPR will be force to carry Rush Limbaugh?
