Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, the undisputed ratings king and the highest-paid radio personality in history, was to do a live-broadcast/real-time commentary on air of the Obama inauguration on Tuesday during the 12-12:30 PM time slot.
But several liberal station managers in a few key areas took it upon themselves to self-censor the Limbaugh program.
In keeping with the mindset and practices of Obama and his team with regard to television and radio programming they find to be 'problematic,' the liberal station managers simply refused to broadcast the 1st half-hour of the Limbaugh program.
So far, 8 stations have been identified as part of the censorship of Limbaugh, including stations in Boston, Raleigh, and Los Angeles.
After the election in November, the Liberty Sphere warned that the censorship of conservative voices in the media may not need the implementation of the so-called 'Fairness Doctrine.'
We were alerted at that time to plans made by the Obama team to bypass the implementation of the Doctrine by working on the local level with station managers and their own teams of 'media watch dogs' to censor unacceptable speech without much fanfare.
Apparently, with this level of cooperation they are already getting from some within the radio industry, they won't have much trouble in silencing conservative voices of dissent.
Sieg Heil!
