Government In Charge of Political Balance on Radio?

Image Source

Recent polling data now suggests nearly half of Americans agree
that the GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE political balance on radio
and TV airwaves!

While some American people actually believe re-instatement of
the "Censorship Doctrine" (aka the Fairness Doctrine) would
accomplish political balance, the stark reality is, in the
interest of showing both sides of a controversial issue, people
will get neither!

It's not a stretch to think that broadcasters, intimidated by
the FCC, will run from anything close to controversial. Programming
like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and scores of others would
vaporize because of government censorship...

..and we can't allow that to happen.

++ Change is Coming...

You may have read recent reports (posted right here
on MRC) suggesting liberal leaders aren't terribly interested in
moving this Censorship Doctrine forward.

We're not buying it. Not for a minute. In fact, we are
fully convinced that this bolstered, heavily-muscled
liberal- controlled Congress will move quickly to censor
and ultimately silence conservative speech...

We believe this because conservative talk radio represents
the last stumbling block to liberal domination of the airwaves.

That's why we've started the Free Speech Alliance, and have made
a commitment to dedicate every possible resource at the MRC's
disposal to fighting this effort to silence the conservative voice.

We're calling on all concerned citizens to join us and make a strong
statement that we will not tolerate this blatant attempt to censor
and silence the conservative voice.

Thank you in advance for your help, and for standing with the
MRC to stop these attacks on our free speech rights.

I believe that the information above is VERY important. (I did not write this of course, it came to me in an email from The Media Research Center.) This can NOT happen. 99% of what we see on tv is unbalanced in the favor of liberals. Talk radio is all that conservatives have left. We have to fight against this. Every time I have heard "we want equal rights" it eventually has turned into for many "special rights" above every one else. (Think about extreme feminists, extreme laws for only certain races, and the radical ones in the homosexual community attacking churchse.) When they start talking about making talk radio equal or balanced it will be the same way. It will get a lot of people off the air including Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. Those are in the top two from what I last heard. The liberals had a chance at radio and it flopped. It just wasn't good. Conservatives can do it and do it well. That is why they are a threat. Also, if this attempt is successful how long do you think it will be before they go after the Internet. I for one am going to do all I can to keep this from happening. At this point we know this attack on our freedom is coming. If we do nothing we can't say we didn't know or we didn't know how to take action.

"Talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to
be dwelling in
hyperbole. It's explosive. It pushes
people to, I think, extreme views
without a lot of
information ... I'm looking at the [Fairness Doctrine]...
Unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way."
