It is funny to watch the liberals in panic-mode over talk-radio and Foxnews. They are trying to concoct ways to level the playing field with the Fairness Doctrine and more heavy-handed FCC regulations. What liberals don't understand is that it isn't that conservatives have an advantage in broadcasting...it is that they have a message that is resonating with more people and thus...is more popular.

The liberals are intentionally trying to confuse popularity with inequality. It's not that they don't have ample resources to get their message out; it's just that people aren't listening to their message, and therefore, in their view, it's not fair. In other words, they just don't believe in...or trust, the free-market.

DO you define equality as equality of opportunity or equality of results?

IMHO parity and equality are not the same thing.

I listen to "Morning Edition" every day on the way to school, and "All Things Considered" on the way home. I figure it's good practice to argue with the radio and pick apart their slants and rants.

This morning, they were all abuzz about the Bush administration's attempts to "paint" the war in Iraq in a more favorable fashion to help with the election next year. They still don't get it. They were being asked point blank to try to more accurately describe the condition of the country, and they were complaining about not being able to count the wounded in the attacks on our troops.

Annoying, but like I said, good practice.
