Now we know WHY the din for this started growing at the beginning of last week.

Center for American Progress had a 40 page report ready to try and justify government-mandated censorship of the one media outlet that can rally the people against Hillary!

CAP is a CLINTON-RUN leftist think tank, run by Hillary Clinton and former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. They helped launch Media Matters for America.

SOROS is a huge contributor, and other recent donors to CAP include the Rockefeller Family Fund; the Irving Harris Foundation, the Philip Murphy Foundation, the New York Community Trust, the Overbrook Foundation, the Peninsula Foundation, the Robert E. Rubin Foundation, the San Francisco Foundation, the Bauman Family Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Open Society Institute, and the Robert and Irene Schwartz Foundation.

"In the spring of 2007, of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming was conservative and only nine percent progressive."

"Our goal is not less speech, but more speech," said Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott. "We want more voices on the radio."

Wow. Here's a concept even a dumb conservative can grasp. In the above statistic, 91% is conservative and 9% is 'progressive', that represents 100% of radio air time. In order for there to be more 'progressive' talk time, there must be LESS conservative talk time. That would be, Ben, LESS speech.

Hypoctitical liberal dirtbags. They want the media all to themselves.

There is indeed a “structural imbalance” in the media world in which talk radio is an island of conservative voices surrounded by a sea of “progressive” voices.

This is what you get when folks on both sides of the aisles believe that the airwaves are a "public trust" and that this somehow makes them subject to government regulation.

It would be disingenuous on the one hand to say that the government has the power to step in and prevent Stern from saying "f**k" on the radio, but with the same breath say they don't have the power to regulate anything else. You either have the power to regulate or you don't.

In for a penny, in for a pound.
