As free speech advocates gear up to oppose revival of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,â€

Reduce the editorial freedom of the owner? That is quite naive.

You don't get it, do you? They don't want to "reduce" the station owner's freedom, they want to chase him out of the studio or eliminate him if he does not comply to the demands of the Left-wing visitors that a law like this will attract.

I do not believe that Politicorp has any desire to shut down talk radio, rather this seems to be an attempt by Politicorp to tweak the airwaves to their favor. Divide and conquer needs tweaking. Divide and conquer pits right against left, this establishes the teams on the field, the coaches, the Politicorp sets the rules (the dialogue) that will ensue during the game, keeping in mind that the rules for the game are constantly altered by Politicorp owners which in reality own both teams and have written the game plan books for both teams. Ofcourse neither team realizes this as they are both pitted against one another.

Air America is trying to make a comeback. What better time to bring up this debate concerning the Fairness Doctrine then right after a highly charged election that has gained the attention of so many? Could this be a call to the Left team to get out on the field, a game is about to start?

The teams only debate the topics which are presented to them at the time that they are presented.

Illegal immigration as a game topic started when? It started when the coaches decided to place the ball on the field, not sooner (as in a real free press) but rather when they were ready. You can play the game, but you cannot determine the timing of the game.

The element of timing is interesting. The teams know some of the rules, they just wait to see if the game will be called due to inclement weather, or if the sun will come out and shine.

The term Politicorp is just my way of saying, big corporate monies with big politicians in their pockets.

You go Air America! The crowds roar with support for the lefties, they wonder, what color tighties will the team wear out onto the field?

Revive 'Air America' ?...haha...some heavy duty viagra may help.

Are they trying to revive 'Air America' to give Al Franken a job if he loses the Minn. Senate recount to Sen. Coleman? Wasn't Air America Franken's idea to begin with, and didn't he administrate it, at least at the beginning?

How many times has this station been revived and failed now? Hey folks, get a clue! The population that still listens to radio doesn't want to hear a bunch of liberal commie crap on the airwaves. We get enough of it from the major media outlets as it sits like newspapers and television.

Just like our Constitution, leave it alone or there's gonna be trouble!

I remember when Al Franken performed on Saturday night live, he would often do parodies of serious political commentators. Apparently some air-headed Liberals saw his comedy act and thinking it was serious started to support him as a real commentator and politician.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Tickle your (the left) butt with a feather? (The feather being the Fairness Doctrine.)

The debate concerning the Fairness Doctrine promotes free advertisment for Air America. Again, tickle your butt with a feather?

Barack Nobama has been told to rustle up a team to play the Super Bowl game on the Super Bowl field. 'rednecks cling to their religion and guns.'

MHO, this will be a real big game. The 'red necks' with their guns and religion will face off against the atheists and pacifists.

The rednecks being conservitive by nature are real sticks in the mud. The atheists and pacifists being driven by their passions and emotions have the ability to act like chameleons. The atheists will change their colors and look like 'religion soft' thereby attracting unsuspecting participants who just wish, "can't we all just get along?" The pacifists will wave American flags and sing the National Anthem just like any good American.

The Las Vegas bookies have just opened their windows, 'place your bets gentlemen.'
