WASHINGTON (CNN) — More and more Democrats in Congress are calling for action that Republicans warn could muzzle right-wing talk radio.
Representative Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat from New York is the latest to say he wants to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine," a federal regulation scrapped in 1987 that would require broadcasters to present opposing views on public issues.
"I think the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated," Hinchey told CNNRadio. Hinchey says he could make it part of a bill he plans to introduce later this year overhauling radio and t-v ownership laws.

What do you care? None of your freaking business what my plans are, L (loser)
And you missed the point. I was just saying that nothing good ever comes from negativity and defeatism.
Har!
LOL!!!
Reading the comments, you see how phony the left wing argument is. They spout that Rush and right wing radio are all lies and idiocy, and the next thing they want to do is shut it down.
So which is it? Harmless stupidity that could never affect their correct worldview, or something so fearful they want to take away the right of free speech from anyone espousing it?
And you belong to Barney Frank. Hows it feel to be his b****?

Pitchforks, Torches and Wolverines, The Axis of Liberty...
The liberals/leftists have no coherent world view, so trying to make sense out of their antics is never very productive.
Let me know, and I'll bust a cap in their a$$.

Also you are losing it. Time for your medicine.
Well, he could launch his own satellite.
"High atop the EIB satellite... it's Rush Limbaugh!"
LOL
Hinckey is a leftist wacko par excellance. He’s as crazy as Jim McDermott, Maxine Waters, Dennis Kucinich, and some of the other Democrat nutjobs in Congress.
If there were a Congressional Hall of Infamy and the Insane, his picture would be in the front row.
Who elected this clown? and Why? Have you no shame? Have you no brains?
During the Clinton years I listened to a lot of Short Wave, it was a good source. I did not watch ONE TV appearance of Clinton and yet via SW (and some favorite conservative mags, I got good info, I was not “out of touch” and my life was so much more pleasant.
Prove it.

Idiots of the left have been given to much leeway. The fact that they want to silence those they cannot argue against is proof. Nobody here is suggesting Bill Maher or Chris Matthews be silenced. The reason is obvious. Moonbats seem to know they are mentally inept.
Your post # 51 on this thread. You attacked the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity all at once.
Your whole defeatist attitude.
We will cancel our cable television.
