Fairness Doctrine | The New Republic

The irony is that, for much of the last year, Republicans have been scaring the bejeezus out of seniors by telling them that Democrats were out to destroy Medicare. But the Roadmap makes clear that it’s not Democrats who seek massive, disruptive changes to the program. It’s the Republicans. If the coming engagement between the Republicans and President Obama help the public to understand that reality, extending the debate might actually be worth it.Fairness Doctrine | The New RepublicBlogged with the Flock BrowserRobert Hooker supports these messages.

Fairness Doctrine
The New Republic
2010-02-08 00:00:00
The idea that Republicans haven’t had a chance to present their ideas on health care reform is a bit mind-boggling. Five separate congressional committees had hearings; each chamber had floor debates. That’s hundreds of hours the GOP had to talk about health care, all of it in public view and televised on C-SPAN. And that’s not even including all of the unofficial channels at the Republicans’ disposal. Generally speaking, the party of Rush Limbaugh and Fox Television doesn’t struggle to get across its message.

Hello out there all you peon constituents. This is Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) on behalf of Men's Warehouse.You know, when you go to work in the Capitol everyday to pass important legislation, like the Fairness Doctrine, it's important to look your very best. That's why I buy all my suits at Men's Warehouse.Looking good is especially important when your having your picture taken next to beautiful people like Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi as history is being made, for example, when we are passing monumental government health care.I especially need to look my be

Constitutional Courts Are A Threat To Liberalism

By: Christopher G. Adamo The reverberations from Republican Senator Scott Brown’s Massachusetts election had barely subsided when an even greater shockwave was sent throughout the liberal world. On Thursday January 21, the United States Supreme Court handed down a decision that overturned major pillars of the McCain/Feingold campaign finance “reform” act, thereby reestablishing the ability of the people to express themselves freely during election time, and thus to publicly hold Washington accountable for its actions. Of course such an outrage against the Ruling Class can never be al

Cass Sunstein, The Fairness Doctrine and unconstitutional subversion

Cass Sunstein'; I know of him, and it is not good. He has proposed some pretty wacked out ideas but the worst of these is his support for the ineptly named 'Fairness Doctrine.' This would suppossedly level the playing field for talk radio, the internet and other avenues of communications. the left has been batting this one back and forth for years. Look for Obama, handle by Sunstein, to make a push to try and ram this through and torpedo free speech and our first amendment. But doing thngs legally and Constitutionally has never been a worry of the Obama administration. One only has to look at

Warning - ObamaNet: The Coming Online Censorship

2010-02-03 09:52:00
by Chris Slavens, ALG News: Perhaps the Obama administration and Democratic majority overestimated their ability to sell the American people on proposed radical changes to our political and economic systems, as the federal health care takeover has ground to a near halt, and an increasing number of administration officials are being exposed for far-left statists with a sinister, unconstitutional agenda. But those in power show no signs of being bothered by something as trivial as the will of the people, and could very well continue down a planned path of disaster, moving on from health care to

Recently, after President Obama's State Of The Union speech, I wanted to have a different dialogue with my conservative family over politics. Take Obama's advice, stop the same old arguments and vitriol. Unfortunately, the results were not surprising.I'll keep it short. It went something like this... Obama didn't inherit any problems from bu$h, and he should have solved the economic crisis facing the U.S. by now. The bu$h "Tax Cuts" for plutocrats have helped the American worker.

Let's say you have a rally of a few hundred thousands and you have a counter-protest rally of a few dozens - how do you make sure you give equal coverage to each side' The typical solution was to offer each side equal amount of air time - you spend 5 minutes interviewing one of the few-hundred-thousand-strong crowd (preferably - someone who has a hard time answering the tricky questions) and then you spend another 5 minutes interviewing the leader of those few that showed up to counter the main event. Now, the leftie's idea of fairness also includes pretending not to be able to estimate the ac

So Long Air America Radio...

There was a time when I listened to AAR all day. The early programming was that good, and with the exception of the grating Randi Rhodes who I sometimes couldn't take, it was my touchstone of sanity at a dark time in American politics. At some point I realized that I was keeping the radio on all day as I went through my schedule, often stopping to write things down and look them up, always feeling like there was some small ray of hope in what had become a real national nightmare.For AAR, still considered fledgling, its been a rough go of investors and owners who wanted to see a profit in a bus

Reading the trade press and the blogs, one would think that the Tim Tebow ad that will reportedly air during the Super Bowl presented novel, controversial legal issues. In fact, while we haven't seen the ad, from what we've read, there do not seem to be significant legal issues - most particularly ones that arise from an FCC perspective. The word is that this ad is pro-life, telling his mother's story of why she decided to have her child after a medical recommendation that she not, and how that child grew up to be a famous quarterback.

Dear Mr. Limbaugh (Rush),I am currently in Washington where I work very hard for my constituents in my home state of Nebraska. I listen to them as they walk outside my Nebraska offices, send me their e-mails and call me incessantly. While I am laboring for them here in Washington, I anticipate that I will be returning to my home in McCook, Nebraska on a permanent basis less than 3 years from now.Now, since I have been know to make some pretty good deals, I'm asking if perhaps you and I could spend a few moments or hours discussing the Miss America Contest in which you are a judge-in some isola

Has Chavez Finally Gone Too Far'

Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chavez just shut down Radio Caracas Television and 5 other cable TV channels because they wouldn't serve as mere megaphones for the dictator's failing agenda. Indeed, these stations had such anti-socialist gall that they refused to broadcast every ranting speech Chavez made.But RCTV was the worst offender. The staff there went so far as to actually oppose certain of Chavez' policies in on-air editorials. The strongman had been threatening to pull their plug for some time unless they got in line. They didn't. And so, as of January 24, RCTV and the others have been driven
