I hear you! And no matter how hard I try, the “contrast” control on my TV does nothing to change the drivel on any of the networks...
But NOT NPR and PBS, those (TAXPAYER FUNDED) founts of objective profundity, don't yah know!!!
As a born again child of the Obamian Era, I can only speculate that if Republicans and Rightwingers had anything worthwhile to say for the common good, it would not be necessary to silence them and send them to the re-education gulags.
Those that criticize conformity of thought as totalitarian are suffering from a lack of enlightenment.
Yes we can!!

Or executive order?
No, in this case it would mean the government as it would be a government bureaucracy that would decide what gets on the air to assure "fairness". This is turning the First Amendment on its head. A radio station would be free to air only what the government decides is good. Anything else would cost them control over their programming.
Advertisers are free to spend their advertising dollars on any program they want. They have chosen to support conservative talk radio because people want to listen to it. Government sponsored talk radio (NPR) is already available. We don't need to turn every station into NPR clones because no one will support it.
Looks like Buffalo “Chips” to me...
“The seeds for big trouble.”
If they do this, no democrat elected under the new one-media regime will be legitimate. The US will be governed by people who have power only because they have guns—not because they have the informed consent of the governed.
The US becomes a totalitarian state starting in 2012, should this occur. Barak Hussein Obama, in 2012, will be no more legitimate than Saddam Hussein was in 1990.
Don’t get me wrong. He won fair and square this year. The issue is, will he use that power to create a totalitarian state? So far, it looks like he and his party are leaning to yes.
I would suggest an immediate takeover of the Buffalo News since they obviously need to be more balanced. Upon further consideration however, I’m sure they are on the verge of bancruptcy like every other dinosaur media outlet other than talk radio. What should that tell this twerp about his supposed knowledge of “journalism”?
Bummer. I was hoping that fixed the "fair and balanced" attribute.
Really? How much of the $650 million he used to buy the White House came from foreign donors? Where is his birth certificate? I think he is a criminal and not a U.S. born citizen. Fraudulently elected.
I think everyone needs to sigh up for RUSH 24/7.
“And its most dedicated enemies, who want to trim talk radio’s sails, were massively empowered.”
They may yet curse the day such luck was theirs.
Dude....sarcasm tags?
Do not confuse sarcasm with facetiousness, seriously.
This is where this imbecile's logic falls apart.
OK, knobshine, why can't I just select an open frequency, buy a transmitter and begin broadcasting in the format of my choice? Why do I need to apply for a broadcast license and pay those exorbitant fees? I'm a citizen and not just a tax filer but and actual tax PAYER. Why should I be denied the use of "my" airwaves should my application be turned down?
Ah, the “off” switch on the TV-the moral equivalent of draining a swamp.
Filthy kulak radio congolomerates! Comrade Obama, we beseech you: Please take action against the kulaks!
You need to use the collectivist definition of the term ‘people’. In that context it means someone all powerful that represents their economic interests and well being and has to make most of their decisions like what they should hear.
You need to take the course Obama did, “Marxism for Dummies”
This a battle I would like to see and be part of.
Not happening, but I think a fight on this would be good for us, increasing moral. Free Republic
