Hopefully the fairness doctrine will go nowhere.(unless its passed at 3:00 am in the tightest of secrecy by a bare majority)

Hair Amerika did a lot more than go bankrupt. When they folded, the proved that U.S. citizens don’t want to hear that feel good lib/rat talk and even more important that sponsors will “not” pay to keep them on the air either.

Both key things in their demise.

Their failure in a free market should kill the fairness act forever, since anyone who doesn’t want to hear conservative talk radio can always turn the dial to anyone of the many lib tv stations or picky up most any newspaper.

The rats are just pissed they don’t have a 100% monopoly anymore.
They have to share on the internet and talk radio—too bad.

Mark Green tipped the hand of the Stalinist left (remember, Stalin was fascist Hitler's ally in the 1930s and they started WW2 in cooperation) on Fox News Sunday today by repeatedly stating that he didn't support the fairness doctrine (even though he had told the producers that he did). Instead he kept coming back to the need for radio stations to get license renewals and urging leftists to lodge protests the next time stations that carry conservative talk shows licenses come up for renewal. Add to this a move by the Dhimmicrats to shorten the license renewal time to three years and you have a clear threat to the only arm of the old media that isn't 99% dominated by extremist leftists. Look up Michael Copps, the Dhimmicrats butt boy on the FCC, and you'll find this is an official proposal from them.

Well, two can play at that game. If they push this crap through we can mount license challenges to all of the stations that carry the NBC, CBS and ABC left wing propoganda news shows (and "entertainment" too). In addition we should be able to easily demonstrate that every PBS station in the country is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dhimmicrat party and shut them right down.

They forget they don't own the only megaphone anymore.

Turkeys.

It looked(sounded like) like to me that Green was trying to pass the ball to each city so that if a liberal city like NYC demands equal time(both sides) before a station can get licensed in their city that station will probably pull it’s talk format,since granting equal time(pardon both sides)is inefficient and costly and most station managers/programmers would rather die first.

They forget they don't own the only megaphone anymore.

No, but they can tax it. The bill that exempts the internet from taxation is coming up for renewal soon. Dems are talking about letting it expire, so that states and localities can tax ISP's; and etailers and other internet sites can be forced to apply state taxes.
