I just wish that "liberal" people actually practiced what they preach. If being liberal actually means being more "compassionate" than conservatives which is the feel good BS idea behind most people that have no clue please explain the ways liberal thought is more compassionate. Understand, that qualifying statements need be included as to what this agenda means to the USA and how it supports/conflicts with the constitution as written. Thank you. Tipper Gore (Al's Wife) was one of the most recent-history outspoken challengers of free speech pertaining to musicians. AL Gore is every bit as guilty of suppressant tactics with his "global warming" (ooops...it might be cooling...) "climate change" tactics where his very deeply entrenched media co-conspirators constantly display the slogan "the debate is over"...It's easier to prove an argument when anyone opposing it is ridiculed...

This would only largely effect radio as conservative hosts such as Rush Limbaugh clearly dominate this sector in popularity the only rivals being publicly funded NPR which uses tax dollars to exist and only has a dozen listeners that mistakenly changed the dial when grabbing for their coffee...

Only the truly ignorant think that O'falafel has a first amendment right to spew his stupidity and lies, which he does, but WE dont have a first amendement right to CRITICISE HIM. There is also no first amendment right having to do with the fairness doctrine. Read the Red Lion decision where the Supreme Court says this directly.

Thousands of people could be hired and stationed in dark rooms with computers and clipboards checking off how many posts spew hatred for O'Reilly and FNC and then demand it be balanced with pro-O'Reilly posts. You haters will think that's ridiculous but it is exactly what the Fairness Doctrine represents and it is enthusiastically supported by several US Senators. The posts I read anytime O'Reilly and FNC are mentioned shows that Democrat truly is the party of hate and intolerance for Free Speech.

You have been brainwashed and programmed to just spew out what you have been TOLD to regurgitate like the good little hiveminder you are. There are probably a couple of reasons lefty radio hasnt taken off. First us liberals arent really into letting others do our thinking for us like you clearly do. Secondly BUSINESS does the vast majority of advertising and it is a conservative base. This is why Jim Hightower was fired when he was killing in the ratings and Donahue was fired from MSNBC when he was the highest rated program on his network. Keep spewing out what your Limborg master told you to think though I can always use a laugh libcon57 Says:

Its almost as if one product, red, and another, blue, are both sold by a corporation, but blue isn't selling as well so the company mandates that for every red product they sell, they have to sell a blue one too.
