Allies close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are promoting legislation, which if passed, will take off the air prominent conservative radio hosts such as Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly —along with thousands of smaller conservative broadcasters. The bill, entitled the "Media Ownership Reform Act," is sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey, a leftist Democrat from New York. The legislation aims to revive the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” of the 1940’s: “all views” are to be given equal time on radio. In particular, the Federal Communications Commission would have the power to oversee and change radio and television content. The goal is to tilt the ideological balance of power away from the right on the nation’s air waves.


This is no "Conspiracy Theory", they are conspiring to silence conservatives. :gun2:

If Conservative talk shows are required to have a liberal point of view added to them, then Liberal talk shows can be required to have a conservative point of view added also.

Fairness works both ways or should, if you are fair.

You know, they talk about a 'great divide' in this Country and it's very disturbing. I think the people who are most 'disturbed' though, are the ones listening to the liberals and not paying attention to anything else. They like what they hear, and they hear what they like.

There won't be anything fair about it. The libs own broadcast TV except for FOX and that could be better. They tried with Air America and a couple of other efforts to compete on the airwaves and failed miserably. They still sting from that failure and they never get over any loss. They just keep cheating and whining until they get their way. What they won't be able to control will be the offshore broadcasters and there will be a lot of those spring up if they get their Soviet agenda. Buy those shortwave radios!

Well it looks like they have already took one of the small stations off. A small AM talk radio station in Birmingham, AL 1070AM was removed from the air for the commentators talking about illegal immigrants. I don't know what was said, as I can't pick up AM from that source, but something was said that they removed the station from the air and are talking about large fines.

How can we voice our option about this BS? IF and that’s a BIG IF they are going to do this then it needs top apply across the board. ABC, CBS… all need to higher some folks to give the other side of the coin. I’m SICK OF LIBS. :cb13:

Sibs,

It does seem like every time the libs begin a 'talk' show to great fanfare, it is bankrupt in a very short time and goes off the air.

That's because they like to talk, but nobody listens to foolishness. :)

Even the liberal audience recognizes when they lie and, while all libs love to lie, even they don't want to listen to them. Cell phones saved them. Before cell phones, when you saw people talking to themselves as they walked along or drove to the store, they were thought of as nuts. Now, they are just thought of as cell phone users. So now libs can wander aimlessly, muttering to themselves and as long as they hold up a cell phone, they almost look normal - or cell phone users look nuts?

Score one for free speech! A San Fransisco Supervisor wants to sue Michael Savage for "hate speech" because when some students went on a hunger strike to change immigration policy, Savage said to let them starve.

I don't see this as 'hate speech'. I see the students going on a hunger strike as manipulation, and Savage's response as one who won't be manipulated. When you don't give in to these tactics they throw tantrums just like little two year olds do. They don't like what he said so they're trying to silence him. It didn't work though because of one fair minded Supervisor Ed Jew who voted against it.

Sandoval's resolution condemns Savage for "defamatory language ... against immigrants." The resolution was in response to Savage's July 5 broadcast, when the talker commented on a group of students who had announced they were fasting in support of changes in immigration policy.

"I would say, let them fast until they starve to death," quipped Savage, "then that solves the problem."

Sandoval's resolution calls Savage's comments "symbolic of hatred and racism."

Hey Culture Warrior, good to hear from you.  Missed your input.  :)

Thanks :D

Been darn busy....... smiley-bounce-fire

Every day is a day being with a Soldier or a Soldier's Family now :troops:

So much to do and so little time :rofl:

Last weekend was with Families of the Fallen @ a Run Challenge. A "Marine's Run and Challenge" - weather conditions were similar to downtown Baghdad with about 80% humidity and the hills were nothing short of a Marine's Challenge. What a honor to be a participant and to meet these proud, strong, and brave Families. Truly inspirational - and a beacon of strength for ALL of us.

HUGE event coming within days to GB with our nation's heroes. What a great honor it will be for GB to have these bravest of the brave here on our soil. I can only hope to get to meet one or two of them.

Here is a little hint ;-)
