How many of the “advisory boards” would be controlled by groups like ACORN from day one?

All of them.

Conservative radio (generally on AM) became one of the most successful media formats of all time. No one forced people to listen. We listened because, finally, after decades of having nothing but Liberal spew on the airways, someone got on the radio and said what we were all thinking.

A majority of people agree with conservative radio hosts. This is why the Liberals are attacking Limbaugh. They aren’t attacking politicians. Why not? It’s because we agree with Rush. A majority of us.

If the Libs can change our opinions about Rush and his colleagues, they can run the political voice of Conservatism off the airways.

It isn’t about controlling airways, It’s about controlling votes. Democrats may act like bumbling, stupid lemmings but when it comes to politics, they never bring a knife to a gunfight.

If only the GOP could fight as well..

Aides to Clyburn said he had not spoken with Obama about the FCC post for his daughter.

Of course not. Nancy carried a hand-written note.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to nominate House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn’s daughter to a seat on the Federal Communications Commission, a powerful agency that regulates issues ranging from TV profanity to broadband Internet access.

Mignon Clyburn, the eldest of the South Carolina Democrat’s three daughters, is a Charleston native who has served on the South Carolina Public Service Commission since 1998.

Obama’s promotion of Jim Clyburn’s daughter — which the Senate must confirm — would further strengthen the president’s relationship with a key congressional ally who helped move his $787 billion economic-stimulus plan quickly through the House in February.

“She is very competent and accomplished, someone of whom I am very proud,” the congressman said.

Aides to Clyburn said he had not spoken with Obama about the FCC post for his daughter.

That particular Bill died, but now we see a new backdoor Fairness Doctrine in H.R. 1966: Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act.

They’re going to keep trying until one slips past – and like a suicide-bomber, it only takes one slipping past…

It’s pretty much the same here, and I would guess just about everywhere. It isn’t as if there are only 2-3 radio stations within hearing. There are probably 20 within reasonable distance of San Antonio, and probably half are in Spanish. Any one of them produces more than 3 hours a day of local programming. The rub is which hours of the day, because during the prime daytime hours, most who are listening at all listen to talk radio.

Let me take a look at what that brings in Portland, OR:

KXL 750 – M-F 5A-9A – Portland’s Local News (Local); Lars Larson (local/regional) – 12-3

KEX 1190 – M-F 5a-9a – Morning Update with Paul Linnman (local); 4-7p Mark & Dave (local)

KPAM 860 – M-F 5-9a – Bob Miller in the Morning (local); 5-8p – Victoria Taft (local)

————

Those are the big 3 conservative talk stations. They carry the local programming required by FCC for localism, as well as locally produced shows on the weekend.

Now, why the hell do we need these rules? Is there any way we can short-circuit these rules BEFORE they gets put in? Like maybe a court case or overthrowing Obama’s ass?

Well, it they take Rush, Hannity, Boortz, Beck, Laura, etc, off the air, I won’t listen to the radio again. Think of the millions lost in ads.

This is the only battleground where they will lose with the Fairness Doctrine or localization. If no one is listening, then no one will advertize. No ads, no money. No money, no – wait for it! – Tax Revenue.

How many people listen to Rush Limbaugh every day? Tens of millions. Do you really believe that advertizers will find someone else, non-conservative, to take his place? No, they won’t. The heads of the radio networks will tell congress not to pass FD or localization. They will do it anyway. Which should give us a VERY big stick in the 2012 elections. Remember, even unemployed radio workers get to vote.

Dr. Peter Venkman (talking to the Mayor): “Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.”

He is a very devious person.

President Obama is on record opposing the return of the Fairness Doctrine”, sure but he is known to lie all the time

And it does not seem to bother him one bit-none of the Big Media calls him on it. After broadcast media they will come after the blogs. I ordered my shortwave.
