If ABC caves over Melanie Morgan, what is to stop the libs going after Hannity and Levin next?

It won't stop them...

But, I am thinking that Sean Hannity probably has enough money by now..that he could do like Rush..and have his own setup...and take Mark with him.

You know...a syndicated thing...

We do need to watch the House proceedings though re: the Fairness Doctrine.

We also need to wonder what they have in store for Free Republic....

Yes, they talk in some of the blog postings about ultimately going after Hannity & Limbaugh, but they speculate that they can't do it right now and be successful. So they seem to be moving to take out a few prominent 2nd and 3rd tier conservative talkers, brand the story of "threatening hate speech being sponsored by corporations" in news media stories and in doing so freeze the flow of money to conservative talk radio shows.

Give them credit for one thing. While what they are doing is VILE, and their stated goal of undermining the war on terrorism is ANTI-AMERICAN, they have nonetheless wisened up to Free Market policies about advertising and corporations. They recognize that they can kill a number of conservative talk radio hosts by making it politically unacceptable for advertisers to be on such shows. And they will use the liberal Mainstream Media to start repeating the story over and over again so that no advertising rep. would ever have the "cajones" to advertise on a conservative station.
