Liberal Democrat Political Broadcast
why do liberals hate free speech?
It’s become clear that the Democrats want top-down government control over political speech in this country. More than that, they want a mechanism that will kill talk radio — because they can’t compete in that arena. They want to re-establish the Fairness Doctrine so that broadcasters get intimidated into changing formats to protect their licenses. With the FD back in business, any crank can file complaints at will and force the broadcasters to conduct minute-by-minute audits of their broadcasts, attempting to determine how much time went to one position versus another.
Instead of going through that burdensome and expensive accounting, broadcasters will dump political talk for sports, or perhaps the inane “community” talk that almost always turns covertly political. The AM band will fade — again — and the broadcast industry will contract — again. And all because the Democrats believe that Americans are so stupid that they can’t find competing information on their own.
1. They do not believe in freedom
2. Dislike anyone who disagrees with them.
3. Conservative radio is successful. Liberal is not.
