Right wing cretin wants CBS license revoked for dissing Saint Ronnie. |
Of all the conservatives who've gotten their panties in a bunch over
CBS's forthcoming Ronald Reagan movie, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) is
surely sitting the most uncomfortably.
During an appearance on Buchanan & Press last week, Cantor made
not-so-veiled suggestions that CBS should have its license revoked if
it went ahead with the movie.
"I'm just saying I think as a representative of the people of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and as a member of Congress we have a duty to
make sure that licenses at the federal level are not abused...and
abuse means using those licenses to advance a political agenda." said
Cantor.
Riiiiight.
So CBS should have their license revoked for airing one movie, but
"Fair and Balanced" Fox News should, don't tell me, be applauded for
their evenhanded and unbiased approach to news reporting.
Interesting that Saint Ronnie of Reagan is considered so untouchable
that members of Congress will threaten to shut down TV stations for
besmirching him.
In fact, why not just go the whole hog?
Perhaps Eric Cantor could simply introduce a Constitutional amendment
which says that any station caught broadcasting material unfavorable
to the GOP will have their licenses revoked, their offices burned
down, and their CEO's hung in the public square.
That should put a stop to the evil liberal media once and for all.

Will you be calling for abolishing the FCC, or at least limiting its
regulation activities to purely technological issues?

My understanding is that the movie actually portrays Reagan in a very
positive light - with the exception of his "god's vengence on gays" line
about AIDS.

It's also supposed to show him slapping his kids around, another Repug
"family values" act.

Guess he hasn't watched Fox lately. It is like having rush on 24
hours a day. If you want real news don't go there.
Riiiiight.

Yes to the mind of those that control the Media. If Bush gets his way
Fox could buy up the majority of TV stations.

Compared to Fox the liberal is much more truthful and less bent at
least there debates actually have a right and left view instead of a
24 hour paid GOP advertisement

Nonsense. Just read the New York Pravda for an idea of how socialist... I
mean liberal, 99% of the media is.
