In addition in Boston, the blue-est area around, "prog talk" was off from Dec '06 till Dec of last year when someone had to buy time to get it on. It was just noticed that the two shows that were bought seem to have suddenly disappeared (could be anything but maybe the money ran out?) And these folks want to FORCE radio stations to put unwanted liberal talk on?
In which case your talk station might prefer to simply change the format. "True Oldies 680". "Classic Country 97.3". "ESPN 940". Coming soon, where your fave conservative talk stations now are?
Has the woman never listened to the liberal National Public Radio which can be heard coast to coast with almost complete blanket coverage?
losing progressive talk-formatted stations in D.C., San Diego, Sacramento and Miami is “such a disservice to the public.”
Have you ever thought it might be because they have to compete with NPR for the liberal ear?
YO, STABACOW ... Which part of “CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW” did you MISS in Politician School??
I WILL USE my 2nd AMENDMENT to Protect my 1st!
Just sent the following to Sen. Stabenow -
“Dear Senator,
Your focus on the Anti-First Amendment Doctrine (aka The “Fairness” Doctrine) is abhorrent and treasonous. Allow me to recommend some reading material to you:
1. The Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America
2. The Bill of Rights
I am fascinated by the fact that the Anti-First Amendment Doctrine targets ONLY conservative radio talk shows and NOT liberal news organizations to include NPR, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, The Washington Post, the LA Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Chicago Tribune and The San Francisco Chronicle to name the more prominent organizations. Would you care to comment on that, Senator?”
