If you think for a second this is about democracy or fairness or equal time you are beyond naive. This is soley about silencing your critics, because you don't like what they say. It is not a right wing monopoly in talk radio. No one is forcing this programming on the public. It is called the free market. Look at the cable news race. Foxnews dominates CNN and MSNBC from a purely ratings standpoint. People CHOOSE to watch what they want. Somehow though, that is not fair?? You want your ideas out there, make it marketable and people will tune in. TV and radio ratings,and subsequently ad revenues, are pure capitalism. If the people don't want it, the stations can't sell it. However, the Democrat's ideology seems to be that us dumb common folk can't make decisions for ourselves, so the elite politicians will make them for us. I would put the IQ of 435 people chosen at random against the mindless dolts running our legislative branch. This is sickening.
