Oh the Liberals are Pissed Now - Here comes the Fairness Doctrine

We have warned here before about the so-called Fairness Doctrine. It is designed to shut down talk radio, which is dominated by Conservatives. It is named in a way to make you believe that it is altruistic. It is not. It is hardball politics at it's worse.

Liberals, for some reason, cannot figure out how to be successful in talk radio. Air America tried. Their audience numbered in the dozens. It went bankrupt (I think, actually, more than once).

Recently, 1260 in DC of all places is switching formats AWAY from Liberal talk to financial news. Dude, I have to tell you: if you can't make it in talk radio in DC - you are hopeless, hapless, AND clueless.

Speaking of clueless, this brings me to Debbie Stabenow.

Now, Debbie (as we knew her when she was a Narc in my high school in the 70's) is an idiot. She was an idiot then, she is an idiot now. For whatever reason, The Messiah asked her for advice on his economic plan. My God, she is from Michigan. What the hell could she know about a good economic plan? The fact that she got elected (and re-elected) make me wonder about the sanity of the people of Michigan. But, I digress.

In a recent interview Debbie said she wants 'hearings' and on the lack of 'balance' in talk radio. They are looking for 'accountability'.

Let me decode that for you.

• 'Hearings' are what congress does when they are looking for someone to blame for some problem. The current problem is that the American people have figured out what BS this 'stimulus' bill is. We don't like the bill - because we know what is it. We got a lot of that info from talk radio. This pisses the Libs off. Hence, hearings.
  
  
• Balance is what they say they are looking for. They are really looking to silence the opposition in the one area of media that they do not dominate. They dominate cable news (Fox being the only bright spot). They dominate the big news papers and magazines. (Is the Messiah on the cover of Time THIS week?). They fail at talk radio.
  
  
• Accountability is to make it sound official. Point here - Free Speech is NOT ACCOUNTABLE to the government. We are using our free speech to attempt to hold the POLITICIANS to account. Hey - Stabenow, you want accountability? Find out where our $350 Billion in bail out money went. Find out why Charlie Rangel got his interest and penalties waved when he paid his delinquent taxes. Find out what moron in the White House has been vetting your tax-cheating Cabinet nominees.
  

Bottom line, the Libs are pissed that they can't compete in Talk Radio. They know the so-called Fairness Doctrine will not cause MORE liberal talk - it will just reduce Conservative talk to zero. Because when you both have zero - it IS balanced.
