But apparently the Administration officials either haven’t read the First Amendment lately, or do not take it seriously.

The same could be said for the other Branches of Government and most television talking heads...

Rush is certainly aware of the coming restrictions and has mentioned it numerous times on his show. Personally, I think the administration will succeed since they don’t plan on achieving their ends through the congress but instead through the bureaucracy. Speech regulation by stealth.

I am a white woman and in 1997; it dawned on me that Oprah is a racist. It also dawned on me this blanket of guilt she uses just isn’t true. I stopped watching her and have never looked back or wanted to.

"The other effort is to make sure that local communities are “fair” in what they broadcast, This would be determined by local “community boards” who would decide whether programming “serves” the communities."

And, should local "community boards" decide that the programming which would best serve their respective communities should be decidedly "right wing," what then?

My God. Someone else FINALLY had the nerve to publish where Oprah came from ;-)

Full Disclosure: Richad Scher acted like an arrogant dork, according to friends I had who had to deal with him at the time...

Cheers!
