[Republic If You Can Keep It]

It's about protecting the political class of both parties

I beg to differ.

It would effectively kill conservative talk radio while allowing liberal TV (the Big 3 & CNN) to continue as usual.

You believe the political class is concerned with ideology. They aren't. They are concerned with ruling without the interference of the ruled. Ayn Rand had it right when she said the Republicans are only "yes but" Democrats, as in "I agree with your policies but I think we should go slower". The end result is the same. Socialism. One party just gets you there faster than the other, so you can take the express or the scenic route but the destination is the same.
