Liberals like HK are always in favor of censorship such as what the so-
called "Fairness Doctrine" would require. Why not do an experiment
and apply it to NPR before we consider it for the open market.

Yeah, but there is a difference in honest liberals who believe in the
constitution and the ideology of Democracy, and the "far left loons"
who would gladly trash either to fufil their self indulgent idea of
how America "should" be. You are not an "elitist", there is a huge
difference. A lot of it has to do with the fact that you work for a
living, the folks like Harry think because they are "smart", everyone
should hand it to them.. Problem is, too many have been, for too
long...

Turns out the hatchet fell at NPR. My sister, Vicky OHara got axed

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.

You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the fairness

Obama, for one, is on the record against reinstating it.

Liberals or a segment there of are not the primary movers on this. It is
just a front.
Politicians on both sides would like talk radio controlled to their
liking just like they are doing with eliminating alt. newsgroups and
attempts to control Bloggers. Remember Trent Lott and others on the
Blogger issue and the Internet.
The 1st Amendmetn has many attackers. They don't do it in their own name

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.

This idea is so sick the major media don't even discuss it.

What are you afraid of........?

Censorship... you wouldn't understand. Your govt won't let you watch
the frekin' Simpsons and you sit back and take it..

************************************************** ************

Can't blame them for trying to filter all that 'merican crap that flows
across the border


I can tell you haven't seen the show!


Used to be a big fan when the boys were young. We'd be laughing out loud at
the antics, but the wife just couldn't see what was so funny.


Your wife's got some sense. For many folks down here, the closest they get
to the news is the Simpson's. That's how Obama got elected.

It's good that it annoys people like you and JustHate. It's not going
anywhere, but it does cause anguish on the right because of the fear the
right-wing hatemongers might be forced to act more responsibly.

I am going to enjoy watching the next four to eight years of apoplexy on
the right. Rush will be back on hard drugs and probably OD and die,
hopefully right on the air. I haven't been watching the Supremes
closely...are any of the right-wingers on the high court close to death?
