This is what passes for journalism

[DBrow]

“Minority ownership fell by 14 percent “

because Air America was buying up minority stations?

[Biggirl]

Journalism has died in 2008.

[ssaftler]

Journalism? My 7-year-old nephew can write better than this tripe!

[BenLurkin]

The bolsheviks hate free speech.

[verklaring]

The basic service that a broadcast licensee owes a community is truth. As the election neared, that commodity was in short supply.

Why pick on radio, start with TV (sarc).

[Aggie Mama]

The fetid puddle of falsehoods and coarseness that talk radio has become

Oh goody!! Does this mean that we can shut down the coarseness on BET and MTV also?

[The Great RJ]

But it was OK by left wing talk radio to accuse Bush of lying about Iraq and killing US troops for his own oil interests, implying that Sarah Palin’s son was not her own or to burn an American flag...those are protected speech.

RE :”airwaves do not belong to the station “owners,” as they call themselves, but to the people of the United States of America”

LOL The people meaning the democrats, just like USSR represented ‘the workers’ . Bring it on Hugo Chavis. Clinton was not stupid enough to try this power grab, and he had a reason too, Rush was building an empire on his presidency. This will be a good one to fight.

One thing to note as Rush and Levin say “THEY HATE US”

[Jeff Chandler]

The Internet, whose ownership is still under question

[SERKIT]

Coal first, then talk radio. This economy will die a slow death - one industry at a time.

[Doctor Raoul]

That is, that the airwaves do not belong to the station “owners,” as they call themselves, but to the people of the United States of America.

So will everything you own under Obama's Commie Utopia.

[sionnsar]

The Internet, whose ownership is still under question, is a useful way.

Scary.

[6SJ7]

I remember many years back Rush said he would take his show off broadcast radio before he would have it subject to the “fairness” doctrine. With satellite. and iTunes subscriptions, it would be an easy technical transition.

Radio stations are already struggling to hang onto listeners. Lets see if the idiots in Congress are really stupid enough to kill the broadcast radio industry.

[BigBobber]

The Stalinist cockroaches feel comfortable to come out into the light.

[Fiji Hill]

Elements of the team of President-elect Barack “Hussein” Obama, as they were fond of calling him

Why is "Hussein" in quotations? Isn't that his name?

[B4Ranch]

I recall reading not too long ago, within the past five years, that their is an active goal to reduce the ownership of all major industries to simplify control as globalism began to fall into place.

Looking at every major industry this is true. Tele-communications, major retail in every sector of the market, electronic manufacturers of high tech equipment, meat processing, hospitals, airline transportation, freight and passenger, you name it and it is congealing into larger and larger companies. In many cases the market names aren’t changing, but the ownership is. The largest dozen companies control 80% or more of the market in darn near every industry.

[ronnie raygun]

Rush, Sean, and Levin, start your own broadcast station! Remember how Mel Gibson handed it to Hollywood, same here! 55 million disenfranchised voters aint no chump change!

[NavVet]

Of course, NPR, CBS, NBC ABC (Affiliates) won't have to be balanced because they are soooooo objective. Only conservative outlets will need to be made unprofitable and therefore silenced.

It is like we went to bed in a republic and woke up in a banana republic.

[montag813]

Bill O’Reilly falsely claimed on the radio that Obama did not vote to condemn a Moveon.org ad that lampooned Gen. David Petraeus.

News organizations on hundreds of radio and TV stations falsely claimed that Sarah Palin made women pay for their own rape kits.

[Political Junkie Too]

The basic service that a broadcast licensee owes a community is truth. As the election neared, that commodity was in short supply.

Does he mean how Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw lamented about how Obama was still a mystery?

Where was NBC, CBS, and ABC on truth during this election?
