Sorry if it's a dupe...

The White House is promising new reviews of the "obligations" to the government by broadcasters who "occupy the nation's spectrum" just as the president has targeted conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh for a public attack, raising concerns over the possible restoration of the "Fairness Doctrine," a policy that failed as unneeded and unconstitutional two decades ago.

Paul Ibrahim of NorthStarWriters.com cited Obama's warning to congressional Republicans that "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done" in suggesting the president has become the "driving force" because a new "systematic" plan to "intimidate and demonize Obama's opponents."

We should aspire to be as great as China,
they are legendary in their reputation for having a bi-partisan and non-divisive media.

What would you expect from a Shitcago politician who got elected by having his opponent thrown off the ballot by the court?

Same here - if you can't beat the opposition, find a way to keep them from being allowed to oppose you - or silence them.

It's scary. They control the T.V. Movies, newspapers, magazines - and the one little venue we have - a few sindicated talk show's - they want to destory.

It might not be the second amendment that starts the ball rolling. It may be the first.

There are so many different sources of information that exist today between the different media's we have access to that it would NEVER stand once it hit the SUpreme Court. Yeah, 5-4 because the retards would side with the Dark Lord but other then that.........it would be a huge smack down.

Trying to intimidate, well, say what one will about Rush, but he does not intimidate well and has the $$$ to fight it to the Supreme Court. The attention it would bring would be extremely detrimental to the Dark Lord as he would overplay his hand and lose more then a few sideliners who want change but not Communism.

I have to imagine Rush, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, et al. make a lot of money for someone.  No one wants to see their cash cows die, so I'd wager that whatever media outlets hold their contracts will fight this and will have the money to do so.
