I’m looking forward to the fight. This is going to be great fun!
"When the Left fails in the marketplace, it turns to government."
That about says it all.
I’m sure this includes the defunding of PBS and NPR.
Right ?
They overwhelmingly won the 2006 national elections yet they still cry like babies and fear an educated public.
That no taxpayer money ever may be used to fund "public" radio or television, directly or laundered through "foundations" or tax exempt "public interest" groups.
I'd buy into that.
Aside from that MSNBC report, last couple of days, showing the laughingly misnomered "mainstream" media leans 63% to 90+% Democrat:
Where bias and cluelessness intersect
MSNBC features a report on the campaign contributions by MSM journalists. The report is based on the public records of the Federal Election Commission. I doubt anyone will be surprised to learn that of the 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes...the notion that the press corps as a whole can be unbiased, fair, and objective would be fanciful even if it were not contradicted on a daily basis by its work product...The MSNBC piece confirms just how fanciful. It notes that "The Ethicist" at the New York Times equates the degree of ideological fervor reflected in his contribution to MoveOn.org with that of coaching Little League, donating to the Boy Scouts, or joining the Catholic Church. Journalists this clueless couldn't keep their bias out of a story even if they wanted to. To comment on this post, go here. Permalink
And I've documented the overwhelming leftwing bias of the media for years & years:
-From my file "89% Voted"( for Clinton...)--
Let's give 'em a choice- "OK boys, we'll let your guys on talk radio- if Larry Elder, Rush, and Mike Reagan get equal time on all the networks, papers, and magazines.
Ok, we can regulate talk radio and force it to present both sides. Just as soon as we can regulate Television, newspapers, Hollywood, NPR, and even college professors to ensure non-bias.
Apparently they aren’t afraid of losing dominance in the television marketplace due to re-instituting the fairness doctrine then right?
Actions and consequences, something the left never seems to be able to equate...
Regulating free speech: that’s what liberals and RINOs like best.
I almost want them to pass it. Because I believe the current Court would strike it down pretty quickly. Can’t be sure about the future composition of the court however, and it will always be a pipe dream for leftists as long as they believe its possible.
Naturally leftist ‘RAT scumbags are unconcerned that virtually all of the MSM leans well to the left, that NBC-CBS-ABC-CNN-NPR-PBS and nearly 100% of the largest metro newspapers are all in the tank for the ‘RATs.
The “Fairness Doctrine” is a load of crap. The ‘RATs dominate the ranks of so-called “journalists” 9:1 and have never cared about any honest, balanced presentation of issues.
They are just upset that conservative views that have been slandered, distorted, and squeezed out of the MSM began turning up in radio programming.
.
There is never an exception.
Were it to be instituted I want to see the TV broadcasters cry, which are 99% liberal.
It is also an inidication that they are speaking from ignorance.
As far back as I can remember, Rush has always given the liberal view (usually first) and then summarily shredded it.
Both views are presented.
You emulate my thoghts..Roberts and Suypreme Court,
except the usual libs, will uphold the first amendment
so fast that the Dems ignorance would show the world what
they are all about. Good time to rule on rhis would be in Oct.’08
before the election,, and after Dems put foot in mouth
again....JK
Respectfully, no. Letting it through to pass, and be signed, in the hopes that the SCOTUS would overturn it, is EXACTLY how we got stuck with the Incumbency Protection Act of 2002. (sorry, McCain Feingold)
If these people want to talk about "fairness", how about starting with a major presidential debate that is moderated by someone other than a barking leftist (witness the 2004 debates, Lehrer, Gibson, Ifill, Schiefer [sp])?
And THAT, Ladies & Gentlemen, is Fascism..
