"Since [1987], the country has experienced a proliferation of highly partisan news outlets that disseminate unbalanced news coverage," says a statement on the site. "Democracy is built on the idea that the views, beliefs and values of an informed citizenry provide the best basis for political decision-making."
Wow, they are really hard on CBS/ABC/CNN/NYT/etc, huh?

Unbalanced news coverage? Those who sepcialize in talk radio don't pretend to be news readers. They are admittedly editorialists.
And if this effort succeeds, along with the McCain-Feingold fiasco, how long before private enterprises like FR become subject to speech regulation?
The broadcast, print, and now the internet communications are equal opportunity media.
Come on in, the water's fine!
