Talk radio attacked a very powerful American entity called corporate America. The Dubai port deal was scuttled by talk radio costing investment bankers hefty commissions and fees. Now talk radio is about to upset the global corporate schedule for a North American Union (openning the borders for truckers, the super highway and movement of cheap labor). I think the Dems will have a behind the scenes supporter for the Fairness Doctrine and a number of initiatives to chop down the power of talk radio.
The "Talk Radio Wars" will be very interesting, and lead to many more 'us v them conflicts', I'd guess.
The Enemy Within® is asserting their power, and we have to bitch-slap it down, once again, before their diseased minds rot the soul of this Nation.
Uh, no. The Dubai ports deal was supported, or at least given a pass by many national talk show hosts, Rush chief among them. The deal was scuttled by opportunistic politicians like Schumer who saw the specious indignation of an uninformed public and grandstanded against the deal to enhance their "national security" credentials. Since it was, as you point out, to the detriment of a few "investment bankers", it was easy pickin's for the socialists.
