18. He had me til he made his comments about Democrats


Rutton needs to understand that drastic times call for drastic measures. There IS a responsibility that goes along with having a licence to broadcast on our public airwaves.

We may not have the Fairness Doctrine anymore, but we DO still have a Constitution. The Bill of Rights guarantees us a free press. When that "press" acts in the interests of massive corporations and acts to harm and mislead the citizens of this nation, it must be held accountable. ABC, CBS and NBC should all have their licenses pulled. They should become cable networks if they want to continue to broadcast and we should give those channels back to The People.

Rutten's diatribe doesn't impress me much, even if he does skewer ABC. He's not interested in America or protecting and informing Americans but in the media and protecting the media.

Big difference.
