Barf alert?

[LIConFem]

It's a free-market thing, Gene. That's probably why you don't get it.

[Rummyfan]

I do have a problem when all this conservative talk is not even remotely balanced by voices from the left. (Quick, name one prominent, nationally-syndicated liberal radio host.)

Hey Dipsh*t - it's a free market. Put your own liberal talkers on. Oh wait - that's already been tried and none of them have been a success at garnering listeners and making a profit!

[rocksblues]

What planet does this guy watch tv on?

[D-Chivas]

I swear, those Lefties get a *little* bit of power and suddenly they want to impose all their failed policies again.

Gene - Quick name some who have tried but failed. Several come to mind rather quickly, but then I suppose that doesn't fit in with your liberal mindset does it?

Censorship by another name is still censorship.

In order for it to be balanced you have got to have a liberal radio station stay in business. Is Hannity suppose to have Colmes on his radio show also?

[leenie312]

Seems to me that the right wing radio shows are trying to balance out all the left wing TV propaganda. Would the fairness doctrine be applied to TV as well?

[theDentist]

Another useless idiot heard from.

And I have an even BIGGER problem w/ nosy busybodies like you, Gene, who interfere w/ the free market. Go nanny something else, loser.

[Dallas59]

Back by popular demand....I don't think so.

[polymuser]

What world is this guy from? Uranus?

I sat through Jeff Cohen's FAIR rant on CSPAN this weekend. I believe it was replayed from earlier in the month. I've never heard so much BS in all my life. After he spoke, lib after lib came up to voice their idiotic notions. It was nothing more than a socialist hootenanny.

[OB1kNOb]

If they want fairness and balance for airwave talk shows, then I demand fairness and balance in hiring school and college teachers and professors, judge appointments, newspapers, magazines, and politics. To be really fair, it should work both ways, right?

[mainepatsfan]

I guess he would also advocate that the Chicago Cubs be handed the NL pennant since they haven't won one since 1945. Hey it's only "fair".

[philman_36]

...those Americans searching for voices from the American left.

[philsfan24]

there already is a liberal talk network on the radio and its government subsidized too... NPR

[MrB]

anyone have this dipsht's email address?

He's a typical leftist - "I don't have the skills to compete in the free market, so I'm going to pass a law to make sure I can."
