Hey, Air America had a chance. People want to listen to & debate FACTS. They do not want to listen to hate,whining and partisan politics.
...I’m sorry, what part of “Congress shall pass no law...” do you not understand?

If the Democrats win both WH and Congress in November, talk radio WILL be shut down.
Arizona Sen. John McCain has introduced federal legislation to protect talk radio shows from the reinstatement of past rules that required dissenting voices be given equal time on their shows.
McCain and fellow GOP Senators John Thune of South Dakot and Norm Coleman of Minnesota have put forward legislation preventing the reinstatement of the ‘Fairness Doctrine.’
The Fairness Doctrine was done away with in 1987 but previously required political radio shows to offer equal time to opposing viewpoints as part of their Federal Communications Commission licenses.
A number of Democrats and liberal advocates want the Fairness Doctrine put back in place. They do not like the fact talk radio is dominated by conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham.
McCain said imposing such rules would stifle free speech and there are plenty of political viewpoints in the marketplace.
Conservative radio talkers have criticized McCain for his stance in favor of immigration reform.
I just wanted to toss this in because on other "Fairness Doctrine" threads there have been comments indicating that McCain would do a "me too" against talk radio.
I'm not enthused to have McCain as our nominee, but I refuse to join the "ain't a dime's worth of difference" crowd either.
