If one senior Democratic Senator has his way, conservative radio stations will be forced to provide 'dissenting points of view' for any statement issued on Rush Limbaugh's show or any number of other conservative radio talk shows.
The one thing missing from the Senator's comment, however, is the requirement that LEFTWING media organizations, such as CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and Air America give equal time to conservative points of view.
But then, that would only be fair. We can't have that, can we, Senator...
And this is precisely why the so-called 'Fairness Doctrine' is a sham and is anything BUT fair.
Democratic Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico told a conservative talk radio station that if he had his way, he would impose the doctrine on the station, forcing them to provide 'the other point of view,' but without imposing the same standard on liberal outlets.
Imagine the nightmare if you are a station programming director. You have top-rated programs that bring in top revenue, such as Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and others.
Yet some Leftist government thug forces you to provide 'equal time' whenever a liberal nutcase has a problem with a statement made by such radio hosts.
Such a logistical nightmare will result in programming directors throwing up their hands, pulling the programs off the air, and playing Latin music all morning and afternoon.
This is exactly what will happen to our most popular talk radio shows across the nation if Americans elect the 'evil triumvirate' to run the country--Obama in the White House, Dingy Harry Reid in the Senate, and Commie Nan Pelosi in the House.
