"Fred," you jackass, citizens are limited in the amount
money they may contribute to a political campaign.
People. You know, those beings that our nation was
created for. Anyhow, you're literally arguing that
corporations have "Rights" that citizens do not. That,
they can throw hundreds of thousands of dollars (and
in the case of Faux "news," millions of dollars) in
in-kind contributions to candidates.

You can't be *FOR* the "fairness doctrine" unless you
believe that your political agenda has to be *forced* on
people who wouldn't give you the time of day.

There is no "Fairness Doctrine." Reagan murdered it. It's
death coincides nicely with the rise of the GOP.

You can't be against the fairness doctrine unless you believe
that your political agenda can not win an open, honest & fair
debate.

*****. You lousy whiners aren't happy because you lost your monopoly

The "Fairness doctrine" is a lie,

How so? Where in the fairness doctrine does it demand that liberals
be given preference over conservatives? Back up you ridiculous claim
or retract.

quibbler, and you know it - you're a liar
too.

What have I lied about?

Double standards, thy name is "liberalism".

What double standard, you fucking moron?

The one that demands free speech for liberals but not for
conservatives.

Where does the fairness doctrine say that consevatives will not have
free speech?

It would
also require that other viewpoints could be expressed. Corporate
and theocrat monopolists have too long shouted down all others, by
attempted to put a stranglehold on broadcasting.

Oh, *****. They'll sell anybody time who has the dime.

False. Many of these radio stations have policies which exclude
anything but "conservative" content, on the grounds that it might
confuse listeners or sponsors who are too stupid to be able to handle
anything but a uniform message.

Fortunately,
technology and sound public policy will defeat that and restore
balance to the force.

If your ideas were worth listening to you wouldn't need to force
people to listen.

Nobody is being forced.

The FCC is forcing us not to broadcast our
ideas with the mechanism of licensure, even when that bandwidth is
unused in a local area or is being profligately wasted on things that
do not require the amount of bandwidth assigned.

and ONLY "two sides" and if people really
wanted to hear a bunch of whinging crybabies moaning about how
awful Americans are they'd tune into Air America and talk radio
wouldn't need to be coerced into giving equal time for your
propaganda.

So one radio station is what you consider balanced. In that case,
you won't mind if we delicense all but one of your hysterical,
reich-wing stations.

Thanks for admitting that you're a speech-censoring fascist.

If that's censorship then your proposal that liberals should be
limited to one radio station is equally censorious.

Besides, you've already got every other radio program including
NPR

All you need do is look at the name of NPR to see that it is not
overtly committed to left wing causes,

Gee, that must mean that the National Socialists *were* really
Socialists after all.

You've joined the holocaust deniers, Fred. Nazionale Sozialistiche
Deutsch ArbeitPartei was taken over by Hitler and purged of
socialists, trade unionists, much as the repug party was taken over by
crazy motherfucking theocrat-wannabes like you and purged of any
actual conservatives.

Then do it on your own fucking dime.

The bandwidth can't be purchased, even if it is unused in a local
area, because it is being tightly regulated by the FCC.

then maybe you might be something other than an outright hypocrite
about the "fairness doctrine".

Then you've just conceded defeat, because I'm perfectly willing to
give them equal time to articulate their idiotic views, so long as
there is another voice there to correct their misrepresentations.

You prove yourself a hypocrite with your own words.

No, you prove you don't know what you're talking about.

AGW is *NOT* settled science, and you know
it, and that's why you have to shut down debate.

I've never proposed shutting down debate. You just have nothing
with which to debate.

Yes, quibbler, you *are* proposing shutting down debate. I have
plenty with which to debate, but your Pope Al the First won't debate
anybody.

He sure kicked O'Really's ***** whenever they tangled, despite
O'Really's demand that Al "Shut up!"
