Kristinn,

I have a theory about this. The tin-foil dispenser is out but I haven't folded the foil into a hat *yet* ;-)

Recall that following the defeat of the 'shamnesty' bill, calls went out from the US Senate to reinstate the fairness doctrine; also Senator Lott's statement (roughly) that "we have to get talk radio under control".

The US House of Representatives (under Dem Speaker Pelosi) said that they would not pony up any $$ to enforce the fairness doctrine.

Yesterday or today, I saw a couple of stories about a newspaper having to cut off anonymous blog comments because they were 'hateful'. And now this.

I am wondering if this is part of a concerted effort, or what Rush Limbaugh calls a "journalistic front"...

(I'm still waiting for someone to post that photoshopped image of the "O RLY Factor" :-)

Thanks for continuing to put a public face on Free Republic!

Cheers!

I think you, once again, are on to the truth. BO is just trying to appear “F&B”. Good call.

You could be correct. Michael Savage came out today saying that the Internet should be regulated by the government because a persistent heckler sent him gay pornography.
