Considering that talk radio has no future, they seem to be over-reacting to the influence that people like Rush might be having.

Talk radio has more of a future than does the Boston Globe.

The Boston Globe is the entity WITHOUT A FUTURE. Soon to be added to the trash heap of bankrupt newspapers.

Harrison is a smart, informed guy and he's right that they won't impose the Fairness Doctrine. They're going to eliminate conservative talk radio another way. They're going to impose localism, minority ownership requirements and soviet style consumer councils for each station.
Harrison's missing the boat if he doesn't know about this.

"...Liberal talk is doing great if you count NPR...." Don't forget that NPR's liberal babble is tax payer funded and tax exempt.

Interesting that they don’t mention Maddow as a lib but every conservative is labeled.
