Obviously you don't know what freedom is so *you haven't got a
clue of
about the subject*.
Say what?
I do have a couple of clues *of about* the Queens English.
Besides, one could argue that over the past 4 years we've had
more freedom
than you. (just ask your border guards)

Turns out the hatchet fell at NPR. My sister, Vicky OHara got axed
and I know she did not expect it. Life is rough but fortunately she
has no kids. I always thought NPR had almost no balance, great
programs but no balance. You could end up more ignorant after
listening than before.


Only if you are a brainwashed rightie whose ability to absorb
reality longer than a 60-second soundbite doesn't exist.


I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the
"fairness doctrine." I'm old enough to remember the horrors of the
HUAC hearings and the various blacklists against actors, directors,
writers, and performing artists. *That* was real war against
freedom of speech.

How many of those accused of being communists were not communists?



Who cares? There's nothing illegal about it.


Communism by definition is anti-American.



As I stated there is nothing illegal about it. As for it being
"anti-American," I don't know what that really means. There are plenty
of events taking place in this country many would consider anti-American.


Did I ever say being a communist was illegal? However, you can't be a
member of a communist party or organization or other subversive
organization and work for the federal government. If you are or if you
have you have committed perjury.

Is there an official list?


We'll start one and put your name at the top of the list.

You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the fairness
doctrine, but I've heard of very few that actually want to reinstate
it. *Obama, for one, is on the record against reinstating it.


Check with the US Senate.


Ain't payback a bitch? OF course, the fairness doctrine doesn't call for
censorship of any kind, so if it were reinstated, the loony righties
could go on spewing their hate speech just as they are now.- Hide quoted text -

No they would not. Nobody wants to listen to liberal haters, thats why
there are only govt and privately funded on the air. The "censorship
doctrine" would force any station that wanted to play right wing radio
which brings in ad revenue to also play left wing hate which does not
so they would in effect be forced to give half of their product away
for free. No business can survive like that so they would be forced to
drop any radio programs Pelosi and Reid found to be "right wing". And
again, Obama has told some audiences he is against it, and others he
is for it....

So, rightwing hate radio can only survive in its current vacuum?

Why is the market for "rightwing" radio so large and "leftwing" radio so
small?
