Just a thought. If such a broadly defined law were to pass, does it not mean that our courts could be jammed with freepers, et. al., suing CNN for their obvious biased reporting of "controversial" issues without giving the other side?

Could not such a law backfire seriously on the liberals?

I can't be sure, but I believe that in the past, because 'News' is always fair on neutral, news was except.

I know, please don't gag, it's just the way it was then.

I would hope and expect our side to jam the courts and at least put this BS on hold. But the courts have been "jammed" with liberal judges. These people have an agenda to ruin America and it is getting way out of hand. I think it could backfire though. Almost everything "liberal" backfires but unfortunately, the good get hurt in the process.

These suits are made by advocacy groups. Who has more advocacy groups? The Left. They don't care about getting their message out, they want to clear the Limbaughs etal from the airways. They don't need Air America on the air, they just want the station owners to stop programming right-wing talk. If the station owners program elevator music, heavy metal, call-in sports talk, all-calliope-all-the-time, the Lefties won't care.

Even if the right-wing can match the left-wing dollar for dollar, advocacy group for advocacy group, the station owners can't spend all their money defending lawsuits. So they'll fold. The fact is that this law will annihilate the market value of their investments in the stations won't matter a whit to Kucinich etal. And it will. The reason Rush and the right-wingers are on the air is they drive up the station's ratings and the sales department can sell ad time for lots of money. Without programming the listeners want to hear the ratings collapse, and the ad rates will follow, and the stations' profitability will collapse too.

But hey, do you expect the Left will care that they will destroy an entire industry? Hell, no, why should they? They hate capitalism.
