3. I don't want to share
1480 here in Phoenix with the rethugs. Let them keep their own stations and leave Nova M and Air America alone.

8. As they gaze into the abyss of anonymity
let them search their souls for what really matters in life.

While searching the Opportunities section of the Sunday paper.

9. they can keep their wingnut shows
under one condition. Give me an Air America station so I don't have to rely on litening online and podcasts.

10. They are living in the past...
How much money did they raise on their radio shows? How much money did Obama raise on the Internet, the new media??

The "Fairness Doctrine" would be doing them a favor but they are too stupid to recognize it. Let them continue building fires in the caves...

12. The RW Radio Hatemongers have had a free ride for the past eight years.



Compliments of the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime and their FCC.

The RNC will now have to find a different way to spread their lies and propaganda.

14. Fairness Doctrine wouldn't affect Fox
After all, they're already fair and balanced so the Fairness Doctrine wouldn't change anything at Fox.

16. fairness doctrine
Can anyone remind me what the fairness doctrine did exactly? How would it affect a station like Air America Radio - would they need to be half republican programs as well now? Would every station have to be equally divided in what they air?
