Good, maybe Rush can buy it cheap and make it an ad sponsored free satellite radio service.
I can still publish and distribute. Besides, I picked up a few tricks while hanging out on Free Republic these past 10 10 years.
Anxious to go!!!
10 10 = 10.
Simple answer. None. The Sheep want this government, and will not listen to you.
Yes, so long as their only “killer app” is Howard Stern.
Add Rush to the lineup, and they’ll be _very_ solvent.
However, The Hildebeast and The Zero are true believers and are thus, much more dangerous.
“We need to stop referring to this proposal at ‘The Fairness Doctrine’”
The Censorship Doctrine.
With the said, I do not believe that the current Supreme Court will uphold the fairness doctrine as it has in the past if the doctrine as reinstated is an attempt to regulate speech (as opposed to regulating access to the public airways) or does not apply or is not enforced equally against broadcast television. In fact, I'm not convinced that the SCOTUS will uphold the fairness doctrine at all because the rationale for upholding the doctrine prior to 1987 no longer exists in that, unlike then, there are currently unlimited opportunities for the public to obtain information and divergent point of view, including broadcast TV and radio, cable TV and radio, satellite TV and radio, and most importantly, the Internet. Remember, the purpose of the fairness doctrine as previously upheld by the SCOTUS was not to guarantee equal access to the airways for the benefit of those people trying to deliver a message, but to ensure that the public, who owns the airways, is able to receive divergent points of view.
Congress will use the interstate commerce act to stifle satellite, cable and the internet. You can also bet that they will push for hate laws to prosecute internet posters who post anything remotely conservative.
Sometimes, the best thing for “sparking” a movement is a government trying to supress it. Remember how well the Romans did with trying to supress that pesky Christianity....

God help us all if a President Hussein and a filibuster proof Senate happens in Nov. The Democrats will DESTROY America as we now know it.
The FIRST thing that will be destroyed will be sites like FR. It will be hard for the dems to sell day-for-night with all this truth talk going on all over the web.
The first thing they want to control is what the truth is.
For forty plus years they have been lulling the sheeple to sleep through legislative and judicial social deconstruction, and now (should they win) the only thing holding them back is the uncontrolled web.
This will be Job one .
Mark my words.

Supposedly there were some kind of regulations agreed upon with the merger of XM and Serious. I never did hear the details, but I’d bet that it gets government oversight now...
They will have fun tracking down posters because they do not use real names.
The problem with taking out am radio is that many people are awakened from their dark sleep of liberal “enlightenment” by a bit of Rush here, and a bit of Hannity, Levin, Ingraham, Quinn and Rose, etc. here and there.
We won’t have the opportunity to wake there people up (it happened to me).
there = these.
my fingers are tired.
Can we file a preemptive lawsuit to require ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and Foxnews to put more conservatives on the tv airwaves?
This crowd was trained in secular colleges by the likes of many Ayers & Dohrn professors from radical SDS, which had 100,000 member in 1968 and decided to become educators...they determined the future working class of America would be college educated...see how it worked.
As for ABCNNBCBS, as well as NPR, it would be vociferously denied that these aren't balanced, and thus they would not need to be balanced. Since subjective (read: no) standards, rather than word counts or similar standards, will be used, it'll be hard to prove bias. They'll skate, while Limbaugh and the rest of talk radio, which makes no pretense of balance, will be the only radio affected (since left-wing talk radio has already gone bankrupt).
