the fairness doctrine.... so here we are
and many are complaining that our RW media keeps pushing RW memes

Well, wake up and smell the damn coffee, why do you think the Fairness Doctrine came to be?

Well replace El Rushbo with Father Coughlin and you got the picture

Replace the RW media of the 1930s with our current RW media

Now I will reach for the popcorn

4. Media Ownership used to be limited to 7 AMs and 7 FMs.....
Now Clear Channel owns EVERY radio station in most towns. This does not serve the Public's interest and convenience and necessity.

We must break the hold of the RW Media Cartel. The OPEC of the AirWaves.

5. Yup... but when I hear people complaining but at the same time
saying we don't need no stinking fairness doctrine or equivalent, I just shake my head
