The Fairness Doctrine

Mule · 07-01-2008, 08:44 AM

The lefties are all over instituting a law to insure equal time for boring left wing idiots on talk radio. This is required to insure "fairness."

Since most newspapers & TV networks are far to the left, will the "fairness doctrine" provide for new newspapers & TV networks so that "fairness" can ensue in those areas as well?

I'd be all for it if they similarly applied it to the universities!

Mule · 07-01-2008, 09:58 AM

Amazingly, the lefties haven't touched this!

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
-Ronald Reagan

This bill is genius!

Right-wing talk radio continues to move--so this bill will regulate it while at the same time subsidizing left-wing talk radio (which has ceased to move).

And American Idol pulls in more viewers than Nova - it's all about the (s)lowest common denominator.

So you want to regulate newspapers & TV, or just radio?

What part of "Fair and Balanced" don't you understand?

I thought this thread would be about Obama being connected in another US tragedy, then giving no-bid/blank-check contracts to his own private company, while using the justice department for his personal whims to investigate right wing Americans and deny them travel, all while snorting up lines of drugs and lying to congress.

Back to the Clintons huh. The fact that people aren't willing to pay or listen to the crap liberals spew to support their talk radio shows that it isn't what most people want to hear. But in typical liberal BS, if you can't compete, it isn't fair, punish the ones who are successful. What I really find funny is those who have say that they have lost civil rights under President Bush, even though when asked, they can't name any that they have lost other than being able to call terrorist buddies in other countries

have no problem with the First Amendment rights being taken away from those they don't agree with, just like they want to tell others what to drive, who you can hire & fire and many think it would OK t repeal the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans, including bho, whose voting record backup that statement

One of the greatest misnomers/euphemisms of all time.

I a Greatful Dead CD or Don McClain most of the time, traffic reports are about the only time I tune in the talk anymore.
I don't like rap, so I choose not to listen to those stations

Lefties and their news sources have never been inclined toward playing the Blame Game. AM right wing hate-radio is all about getting people pissed off. Giving them just enough of the right kind of information so they will be absolutely INCENSED at what their idiotic gubmit has done. It's not just conservative hate-radio. Network TV news programs do this too. Routinely.

This is not about balancing left-wing and right-wing hate radio. You guys know as well as I do that the libs could never even scrape up enough liars to compete with the thousands of conservative talk (hate) radio guys. It's about balancing that tactic (incomplete information, presented in way designed to PISS OFF listeners).......with facts.

You're really 50 yrs old & still this stupid?

The govt should be involved with regulating what information is presented, and how it is presented?

Some govt guy or kommittee is going to listen to the radio all day . . . "In our opinion, your opinion was not presented with complete information, therefore we are going to do XYZ," or "In our opinion, you presented information in a way designed to piss off listeners, so we are going to limit your airtime."

And your ilk is the party of freedom?

teenerted1 · 07-01-2008, 05:51 PM

the only talk radio i like is SPORTS radio talk. listen to some on the way home in the afternoon

the right wing/left wing talk is all a bunch of gibberish that really solves nothing. and usually shows how stupid people really are.

in the morning i want to hear the NEWS! not your opinion.

other than that i will listen to my own music selections

don't get me started on reality TV!!!! that ***** is terrible!!!!

What is left-winged radio? Other than the local college stations, I have yet to find "left winged radio".

right winged radio is easier to find than a boil at a Nogales whorehouse.

That is because nobody listened to any of the left wing programs, so they were cancelled. Since the radiowaves belong to everyone, if the lefties don't get to use their share, the righties don't get to use theirs either

makes perfect sense
