Any of you who think that somehow, magically, the UnFairness Doctrine would be enforced on liberal programming are dead wrong. Liberal stations will put on a "conservative" (someone they choose), who will basically pander to the left while they <em>insist</em> conservative stations put on "real", hard-core liberals. Don't ever - for a second - think this Doctrine is going to in any way, shape, or form, apply equally to liberals and conservatives. This is what will happen: A station will have a successful conservative host. The UnFairness Doctrine will force said station to give airtime to a liberal host. The station won't be able to afford it because, as we've seen, liberal talk radio fails <em>miserably</em>. Because they can't keep a liberal host on the air, and because the UnFairness Doctrine dictates they must do so, the station pulls the conservative host too because they can't make ends meet. It's killing two birds with one stone: destroying capitalism and the free market (which liberals despise) and silencing conservatives. And <strong>that's</strong> what will happen with the UnFairness Doctrine. Nothing else. So prepare for battle.

Tell this to CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, all local affiliates across the nation, and print media. Let's have it across the board if they want it, and see how these biased, left-wing organizations like it then. “I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they’re in a better position to make a decision.”

Lifetime Achievement Award for their Contributions to the Broadcasting Industry, there are Seven Nominated, one of the Nominees is Don Imus for his Forty Plus Years in Radio. Anyone who knows the real story about what happened to Don Imus, google: Hillary's Hit Man and Imus, Media Matters, George Soros, The Fairness Doctrine ect.. first they went after the Moderate Democrats and now they are going down their list. I am an Imus Fan, whether this targeted hit had happened to him or not, I would want him to WIN but you know if he does Win, It will be sticking it in the Eye of the Clintonistas. I have written a short blog with a link to the above subject. Tomorrow June 28th, in Manhattan The 25th Annual International Radio Broadcasting Awards at the Tribeca Rooftop.
