CQ sometimes tends to hyperbole. If anything, he has toned down the rhetoric on this one. This issue should be dominating the headlines.

THis article is not Journalism. It is political rant. It is not worth reading.

The article turns the truth on its head. The right wing dominates the airwaves because rich white wing media owners have moved toward monopoly ownership of broadcast stations and have dictatorially prevented free speech by allowing only right wing broadcasters. Most radio and tv is right-wing propaganda heaven.

Lots of use of loaded terms and no real attempt to present an opposing viewpoint makes this story deceptive.

Important story. The democrats want a revived Fairness Doctrine to silence Rush Limbaugh & company. Apparently owning the MSM, and the educational establishment doesn't present the democratic party's viewpoint to enough people, so now they want to shut down republican talk radio. If station owners are required to carry as much Al Franken (who no one wants to hear) as they do Rush Limbaugh (who attracts listeners) most of 'em are gonna go to sports talk shows.

Where is the source that says the Dems have introduced legislation to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine? It seems that Norm Coleman is the one trying to silence voices on the left by claiming they're trying to do something that wasn't even considered. Same old extreme right wing crap.

People who want conversations monitored without warrants, who call dissenters traitors, and who want media ownership further consolidated in the hands of a few fascists think the Fairness Doctrine stifles free speech. How appropriate.
