How Liberals "Compete"

They outlaw the competition in one way or another. Their best-known effort until now was the “Fairness Doctrine,” REQUIRING radio stations who carry such as Rush Limbaugh with his 20 million listeners to GIVE air time to such as Al Franken with his 6 listeners to present “the other side.” But what IS “the other side?” There are so many “sides” that these radio stations would never finish giving free time to people nobody wants to listen to. Rush has PROVEN that at least 30 million people WANT to listen to him while they have also proven (by turning him off), they did NOT want to listen to Al Franken. That’s why “Air America” went bankrupt and couldn’t pay Franken (so he quit). Should they also give free airtime to “Calypso Louie” Farrakhan (and other crazies) so he can expound on his “mother ship” and other stupid ideas? Do we really NEED to listen to such gibberish? I certainly don’t. That’s why I stay away from the liberal media (which is almost all of it) because I don’t want to have to listen to such drivel. Liberals had better watch out what they wish for because the “Fairness Doctrine” works both ways. They’ll never be able to espouse their views because conservatives will demand “equal time” and the law will dictate they get it (unless the liberals at the FCC ignore the law). A revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” would mean the end of talk radio, conservative OR liberal because radio stations just would not carry talk radio. That’s what liberals want. (Just common sense)
