Talk Radio

When right wing thugs trample all over our rights , they are so crudely inept, it does not take long before it is apparent to almost everyone. However leftists are more dangerous. When the limousine liberals and their rabble of do-gooders slickly spout doublespeak , they not only sound convincing, but actually believe their own lines. The Fairness Doctrine was the FCC policy that required all air broadcasts to give equal time to both sides. It was put on the shelf in the 1980's, since the...Read Full Story

Fundamentalist Christians are up in arms about lots of things now that a decent, moral and ethical human being is residing in the White House. One of them is the perceived threat that the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" will be reinstated, requiring broadcasters using the public airwaves to present both sides of an issue. That's the way it used to be. Then, the B-grade movie actor (Reagan) turned prezident overturned the policy. Which made the fundies and the wackos like Rush Limbaugh ooze with...Read Full Story

Randi Rhodes of Air America fame is off the air, as a dispute between her and her employer, Nova M Radio , reached a climax earlier this month. Last week, Nova M Radio filed for bankruptcy, and another liberal network rose from the ashes like the Phoenix of mythology, after which the city in the desert is named, which the now-defunct radio called home. This is just another example of how liberal radio cannot compete with the much more powerful and popular conservative radio. We are a right of...Read Full Story

by Ken Blackwell : House Speaker Pelosi is hinting at reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, and many of her liberal colleagues in Congress are doing the same in both chambers. Alleging the press isn’t “balanced,” they say government should be making sure that all viewpoints — meaning the left’s — are “fairly” represented. I agree the press isn’t balanced, but Mrs. Pelosi has it backward; liberalism dominates the press, including the three major networks and most major newspapers. Though...Read Full Story

If you are clapping because Don Imus was fired and dreaming of the day when Rosie O'Donnell hits the unemployment line, just remember there are people who are gunning for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannitty , too. Thanks to the Reagan Administration and a veto by Reagan himself in 1987, the Fairness Doctrine was put in the grave, but there are many people out there who insist it be resurrected simply because they disagree with certain people's opinions. Rush Limbaugh's radio program reaches a lot...Read Full Story

The Fairness Doctrine offers hope for Julio Osegueda , who has worked at McDonald's for four and half years and aspires to be a disc jockey one day. After watching the CNN Obama fluff piece in which they interviewed Osegueda , it's obvious the Fairness Doctrine is this kid's only hope to get on the airwaves, other than accepting the night job at a small station in western Kansas. Once the Fairness Doctrine runs off today's radio talent (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity , Mancow , Mark Levin...Read Full Story

Everybody’s favorite grandma, the grandma of the house, in fact, has decided that it’s time to control freedom of speech. It’s whole democrat thing about quotas and helping the underdog. If minorities are having difficulties getting into college then you create equal opportunity quotas. If illegals show up at the hospital with the sniffles, they get tended to first because they do not have insurance. So now, if the left simply cannot survive on the radio waves (Air America lasted a few months...Read Full Story

Some conservatives are beginning to warn of the assault on the Constitution that can be expected if the Democrats consolidate power with the next election. They are all too right, but few of those that matter will care, since conservative credibility has been shot to smithereens by the reign of George Bush —what with the Patriot Act , warrantless wiretapping , the War Commissions Act , suspension of habeas corpus , secret prisons and such. As much as I would like to permanently let the hot...Read Full Story

The FCC commissioner has recently come out and said that if the fairness doctrine is reinstated that it could be used to regulate web content . In other words the fairness doctrine could be used to regulate what private citizens, such as you and I, can and can’t write about every day.  There’s a huge concern among conservative talk radio hosts that reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine would all-but destroy the industry due to equal time constraints. But speech limits might not stop at...Read Full Story

Dear Fellow Conservative, Last night, I had a horrible dream... and no, this isn't the famous "I Had a Dream" speech. Frankly, I think that one could use a rest. No, in my dream it was 12 noon, so naturally I tuned in for my daily dose of conservative news and commentary from the greatest political talk show host in the history of radio. As I imagined one half of a giant brain being tied behind a familiar back, just to make it fair, the familiar bass notes from "My City Was Gone...Read Full Story
