October 15, 2008 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Today, KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh, PA, the oldest radio station in the country, and a CBS affiliate, censored Kevin Miller, one of its conservative talk show hosts while he was on the air. The station management cited complaints by Obama supporters and the Obama campaign as the reason that they are asking talk show host, Kevin Miller to "rethink" the direction of his show over the course of the next two weeks leading up to the campaign. They humiliated and threatened him on the air today in what can only be called an act of extortion. They have offered three hours of air time to Senator Obama sans the presence of Kevin Miller or any other KDKA talk show host. NO questions will be asked. Senator Obama will be allowed to speak without interruption.This is completely appalling and a perfect example of the main stream media bias for Senator Obama. If KDKA and CBS are concerned with equality and freedom of speech, they should be offering the same uninterrupted air time to Senator McCain. What will happen to freedom of speech and the conservative pundits in the course of an Obama presidency? It is frightening to consider. Please let people know about this.

NO questions will be asked. Senator Obama will be allowed to speak without interruption. Doesn't the law require that Senator McCain be given the same opportunity?

I was listening to this. I think they were just trying to make a point what could happen. I hope it wasn’t for real.

This was known in the bad old days as “The Fairness Doctrine”. Welcome to a “Brave New World”.

Ah, yes, the Fairness Doctrine.
This is a harbinger of what’s coming.
Talk Radio as we know it today will be gone or underground.

Leaves are changing colors, the air is brisk, and trolls are coming out of their hiding places...LOL. :-)
I’m having a psychic flash right now—McCain...something...something...wait for it...McCain-Feingold?? Does that make sense to anyone?

Oh, I really hope they’re trying to make the point.
All stations that carry conservative programming should pull this same “demonstration” of what will happen when 0bama gets the “fairness” doctrine implemented.

My mom just told me about this; she was listening in the car.
This is "Fairness" at its worst.
