George posted last week about the re-introduction of the “Fairness Doctrine” by certain Democrat legislators. It seems some left wingers are a bit peeved that talk radio caters to and is heard by an overwhelmingly conservative audience, with most “leftish” talk radio either in the radio gutter or, as in the case of the infamous Air America, in bankrupcy.
I cant even begin to tell you how this sort of thing gets my ire up.
On a national level, conservatives are always on the receiving end of criticism for all matter of illusory “censorship” issues. On a local level, just last week some liberal commissioner in Broward sought to ban WIOD – a local radio station that hosts conservative talk radio shows – from being the official Hurricane Emergency broadcast station because some commisioners were “unable to stomach’ the fact that WIOD hosted Rush Limbaugh. Not to mention certain editorial columnists, reporters and Stuck on Stupid bloggers crying CENSORSHIP! because some Cuban-Americans in this community sought the removal of an obviously slanted and disingenous book about Cuba in Dade County’s Public Elementary Schools.
Yet here we have Democratic leaders like Dainne Feinstein, Dennis Kucinich and former presidentail candidate and Senator John Kerry clamoring to instill censorship under the guise of “Fairness Doctrine” for the entire nation.
Dont expect anything but one of two things from your liberal MSM members and Stuck on Stupid bloggers: Wholehearted support or complete silence.
Conservatives may be a lot of negative things, but hypocrites surely isnt one of them. The donkey party has dibs on that.

Val, can you imagine how much Chavez and Castro would love that “Fairness” doctrine?
Don’t forget NPR, hardly the bastion of conservative talk. The libs dominate the MSM, both print and tv, except for Fox News, but can’t tolerate conservative voices, even though they’re mainly relegated to one band of one sector of the media, am radio. Liberal indoctrination can’t advance unless it monopolizes all media.
Creeping Stalinism, nothing more nothing less.
Remember folks, the MSM doesn’t lean liberal.
At least that’s what I once learned from Stuck On bloggers. Makes me laugh when I think of it, actually.
