Right's Reign on Talk Radio Called 'Structural Imbalance'-(Lib 40 Page Report)

Drudge had a good take on it this past weekend. How will they regulate the Spanish stations?

They spew pro-amnesty, hate America rhetoric every day? Do you think they will get regulated and who does the regulating.

Senator Frankenstein from California years for the good old days of the Fairness Doctrine. Someone should tell the dear that the world has changed- internet, cable station, etc. etc.

I want a national organization: NAAWP
National Association for the Advancement of White People

I want all school systems to hold a week called:
White Awareness Week

I want a CWC in our congress:
Congressional White Caucus

Seems the USSR’s propaganda writers are working in Poedesta’s little left wing thought crime mill.

[EagleUSA]

Center for American Progress had a 40 page report ready to try and justify government-mandated censorship of the one media outlet that can rally the people against Hillary!

This is EXACTLY what this is about! This sham of a socialist, anti-free speech front, is FUNDED BY THE CLINTON MOB AND SOROS, ET AL, for the SPECIFIC PURPOSE of protecting Hitlery from EXPOSURE AND COMPETITION IN THE 2008 ELECTION. What a crock of BS. These scum bag liberals are so filthy, they cannot win in a FAIR FIGHT, so they have to go to the back alleys and gutters to win.

Watch for their all-out attack on TALK RADIO and other forms of free speech that they cannot compete against and are willing to trash your Constitutional rights to get POWER AND CONTROL in the White House.

Filthy b@stards.

I’ve said it many times before - it’s about Talent, not ideology. I’m sure Jon Stewart would get more ratings than Al Franken or Alec Baldwin were the Libs serious about competing.

“Seems the USSR’s propaganda writers are working in Poedesta’s little left wing thought crime mill.”

When you start looking at the bios of these people, that comment isn’t very far off the mark.

[Edgerunner]

That’s the ticket! Equal on ALL information channels, not just talk radio! Brilliant!

[VeniVidiVici]

As the Democrats/Libs push this forward I think they will find out that the worst thing to have happened would have been their failed putsch of Air America. Proof that the market cannot support the drivel that drips from Liberal talk radio.

[ExTexasRedhead]

We outnumber them so let the fight begin. Liberals want a confrontation on this issue. I say, let it begin. Everyone I know (both Parties) is saying that they are voting against “ALL” incumbents. Incumbents that want to limit our freedom of speech are toast. Freedom of speech, in their book, is only for the likes of Michael Moore and George Soros. Their goal is to silence us. They can think again, they’re very WRONG!

[Terabitten]

It's simply inaccurate to argue there's little or no progressive talk in major markets with National Public Radio affiliates airing Diane Rehm's show, or 'Fresh Air with Terry Gross,' or the other national and local left-leaning talk programs."

Let's not forget "News and Notes" -- another raging liberal NPR program.

Let's not forget that several NPR correspondents are regularly used as the liberal voice on the Sunday news shows.

Call it irony, or poetic justice but Aire Amerika was replace by the Catholic radio network here in North Texas.

"There's very little free speech and free choice in a market system that pushes one-sided information 90 percent of the time,"

You mean like in the print and TV media, where the so-called "fair" journalists are 90% Democrats pushing Democrat agendas?

Karma. Or, in other words, the mills of God grind slow, but they grind exceeding small.

[MrB]

It’s like trying to tell a fish about water.

“Liberal bias? What liberal bias?”

[kevkrom]

Derek Turner, research director of Free Press, said "the potential one-sidedness on the radio dial in terms of political programming is strongly and directly related to ownership and market structure."

No, it's related to revenue. Profitable shows stay on the air, money losers get canceled. It's called the free market, I can understand why a Soros-funded group might not have heard of the concept.

You forgot to add Whiteness Studies as a degree program in universities.

[Cecily]

Astroturfing at its finest.

[smalltownslick]

Donna Halper, a radio consultant who’s been pushing to get progressive talk back on the air in Boston, said the format can work if given enough resources.

Ah, yeah....you might have known she would be involved

Donna Halper, a radio consultant who’s been pushing to get progressive talk back on the air in Boston, said the format can work if given enough resources.

In other words, it would have to be subsidized.

"Our goal is not less speech, but more speech,"

Deja vu all over again. I seem to recall the Title IX supporters saying, "Our goal is not less sports. We simply want more sports for women." Sounds fair, right?

We ended up with less sports for men in order to achieve "balance". Why? Women didn't want them.

Same thing with talk radio -- witness Air America. Air America had every reason to succeed and no excuse for failure. None.

People chose not to listen to them. So how has that fact changed?
