Agreed...for Obama/Soros to do what they want to do they will need control of the media. Talk Radio will be gone, so will opposition tv and newspapers...be interesting to see what they try to do with the net...bet it will be some kind of congressional/FCC oversight...we will be responsible for opinions...I mean legally.

Bias = Layoffs. I just hope Sam doesn’t lose his shirt before his employees figure that out.

They could release a transcript of the tape with no harm done at all to their source.

That indicates conclusively it’s not protecting their source they’re worried about, it’s what those attending the dinner were saying.

“We’re run by Chicago.” Yes, we may all soon have that experience.

Imagine what it will be like for the Federal government to be run by the most notoriously corrupt and thuggish political machine in the United States.

This just means that they’ll be manufacturing the news close to home, business as usual. Of course, it’s always good news when one of the Jurassic Times orginazations makes cuts like this.

As long as the Kennedy court (i.e., 4 on each side and Kennedy in the middle, so that whatever Kennedy decides is how SCOTUS rules) sits- and so long as the court is not intimidated by fascist threats by the Executive branch - the Fairness Doctrine will not pass muster.

You are much more optimistic than I am.....the Dems blame Talk Radio and Fox for their defeats in ‘94, ‘00 and ‘04...they will go after these outlets without letup.

I thought Heller would win 7-2 last spring...it only survived 5-4. One more appointment and free speech could be about over.
