Fresh Air With Terri Gross AND LAURA INGRAHAM

Be careful what you wish for, libs.

Isn’t broadcasting considered part of the press? Can we as conservatives walk into the NY Times and demand equal time?
(Of course “these are the public airwaves”, it’s said. But people buy broadcasting licenses and have the right to run what they want. Cable TV is a bit of a slippery slope,
though...it’s not a broadcast signal just anybody could pick up.)

The liberal domination of media was challenged by the FCC NOT enforcing the FD in the late 80s. Along came Rush...
“I _am_ equal time!”...and the rest is history.

Few see it that way, but you’re right - the FD sword cuts both ways, although the libs are too dumb to realize it. If they ever do succeed in getting it re-enacted it will not change anything, but will stimulate more ways of getting the conservative message out, including over what are now considered to be “liberal airwaves”.
