I think Rush has already in the past stated that he would pull the plug on his show rather than submit to the so called “fairness doctrine”. He would move the show to satellite radio or subscription. I think he even mentioned pirate broadcasts (shades of VOA!).

It would be an incredibly stupid move for Congress to make, which is why they are likely to try it if Obama gets in. 600+ radio stations would likely go belly up along with tens of thousands of jobs; not to mention the destruction of businesses who need to get their ads out to an audience.

Thai is why they will do it. They do not care if 600, or for that matter 6 million stations, go belly up. As for businesses, the only "businesses" that will be operating is the ones that have their permission. They will decide who runs it. They will decide what is produced, how much is charged for the product, who is hired and how much they are paid. They will be estatic that people have no jobs. This will make them dependent upon the government for existence. If they do not behave like good slaves they will be cut off. And like all government programs, only ceertain types will qualify. The rest will be condemed to a starvation death.

Satellite radio will be covered as well as AM/FM. Nobody is going to waste $ setting up a short wave station offshore as the signal can be very easily blocked.

When have the Democrats ever cared about putting small businesses out of business? The left will rejoice if they can punish 600+ radio stations by putting them and their employees in the unemployment line. They have NO problem destroying small business and making more people dependent on gov't handouts for their very existence.

Plus you will see satilite, internet, and podcasting take off to new hights.
