“Talk air wave is the American voter.” — Rush LimbaughFreedom of speech. It is our most loving payoff as Americans, on trial by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution since 1791. But at the emergence of a new presidential administration, an epic conflict is appearing — a conflict for our airwaves that may presumably neatly stop or overpower exactly the leisure of countenance that distinguishes America from the normal dictatorship. The aim of this conflict is c… More >>

Anything that has Sean Hannity associated with is nothing but right-wing trash. I wouldn’t buy this book even it was free. America needs to wake up, people like Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh are nothing but lying bigots that fan the flames of other bigots in this people. Look at al the recent deaths from right wing loons. Pittsburgh, Kansas, Washington, etc.

THE NEOCONS CAN’T GET IT RIGHT. THEY FEAR THE FAIRNESS DOCTRIN BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH.. INSTEAD FABRICATED LIES & MISINFORMATION. THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT BUT A PLANNED DUMMING DOWN OF AMERICA & AMERICANS. ABOUT 99% OF THE TALK SHOW HOST ARE REPUBLICANS. DO YOU EXPECT TRUTH IN MEDIA. THEY GET THEIR TALKING POINTS FROM THE RNC.
WE NEED THE FAIRNESS DOCTRIN SO THEY WILL BE FORCED TO TELL THE TRUTH. OTHERWISE OPPOSING VIEWS WILL. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT?

While I thoroughly loved reading Brian Jennings’ new book, “Censorship: The Threat to Silence Talk Radio”, the title and content of Mr. Jennings’ new offering does seem somewhat suspect to this Liberal Loser, Environmentalist Wacko, Long Ago Long-Haired, Dope-Smoking Hippy, Femi-Nazi.
Honest?
It’s hard fitting “honest” into framework. As Supreme Court
Justice Potter Stewart once ruled on obscenity, he couldn’t define
it, but knew it when he saw it.
Having over 90% of government regulated, publicly owned
AM/FM radio airwaves devoted to right-wing commentary is simply unfair. And this 90% plus percentage is, pun intended, a conservative estimate.
Such dominance in the last two decades came about through the
mechanics of “free market” economics. It’s The honest Rule 2.0.”He Who Has The Gold– Rules.” Commercial sponsorship commands brainwashing. Affair likes Rush, Sean, Glenn and Mark.
As of this week, Fresno, California, has four full-time talk stations, KMJ-AM (580), KMJ-FM (105.5), KJZN (105.9) and KYNO-AM (1330), all devoted to Conservative thought. For example, between 9 AM and Noon, it’s Glenn Beck against Rush Limbaugh vs. Dennis Miller opposite Laura Ingram.
In earlier times, the Federal Communications Commission
enforced what came to be known as “The Fairness Doctrine”. This
was a plot, not a law, firm definition proving elusive. It just
predestined all sides of vital issues should be heard.
It was never predestined to shut people down, but open discussion up.
In August of 1987, under Head Ronald Reagan, the FCC
abolished the Doctrine.
In August of 1988, Rush Limbaugh, through the magic of newly emerging satellite technology, started national syndication with radio stations unhampered by the need to place forward reasonable rebuttal. Ratings scored, profits soared and “Rush Rooms” flourished coast-to-coast. With lemming-like instinctive drive at full throttle, rewarded by riches, the American broadcast industry took a right hand turn, now intransigently locked in place.
Might I suggest that when 2009 financial covenants can’t be met, taxpayer owned (or owed) banks should grab the stations and/or broadcast groups
which they funded and transfer the facilities in Federal
Communications Commission-sanctioned public auctions to local
interests.
In such transactions, former employees would hear special
consideration, including the opportunity to be considered for
small-affair loans to not only gain control but participate in
common, community-oriented ownership.
It’s only honest.

Did you know that Sean, Glen & Rush barely graduated from high school? None graduated college. None.

Hardly worth anyone’s time. More right wing drivel pretending to be serious discussion.I am a liberal interested in reasoned conservative opinion so I read this book (or tried to), but gave up about 2/3 of the way through.
