Now this right you would think would be important because it was put as #1 in the Bill of Rights by our founding fathers. You have the right to free speech and freedom of the press unless you are a conservative talk radio show or part of the "chattering class". Then Congress will try to silence you by establishing the "fairness doctrine" or claim you must represent "local" interests. This means there needs to be both sides presented by each station. If they don't limit this only to talk radio (and how can they, right?) this would mean that when you turn on your favorite radio station, you will hear one country song, then you will have one hip hop, followed by classic rock, heavy metal, an easy listening selection then a few oldies because they will have to get one from each era, 90s 80s 70s 60s 50s and maybe throw in some 40s. Who knows they may throw in a Latin selection, too.
According to the Honorable Chuck Schumer, conservative talk radio is no different than pornography. To be honest, when they play Reverend Wright or read the details of the wonderful Stimulus Bill, I become very offended, maybe that is what Mr. Schumer means that they should be treated as pornography.
You have the right to freely assemble but be warned, if you do assemble in support of a cause that is not popular among the liberals, your opposition will go to the courts to get the names of the members of that group so they can harass you at your home and work. Your name, employer and address will be listed on a website for all the crazies to obtain and make your life miserable. So BEWARE.
