next target of the left will be talk radio

You have no idea what his contract is, he never revealed it, only the number of years it ran, and he mocks anyone who speculates on what it was. The only thing he said at the time of his contract other than the length was that it was a cut.

July 2, 2008
RUSH: For the most part, what you've read about my contract is true, but I want to say a couple things: It's actually a pay cut

If you frothing at the mouth Bolsheviks ever stopped listening to Rush, he'd lose 3/4th's of his audience.
Your MessiahRushie puts it at 30% and he exaggerates everything by at least a factor of 10. If 30% to 75% of his audience were Libs then 30% to 75% of his callers would be Libs.

October 11, 2007
RUSH: Thirty percent of the people that heard my show hate my guts.
 
doesn't matter at all to your argument

The courts rulings are valid to my argument.
They upheld the FCC repealing the Fairness Doctrine.
Because it wasn't fair at all.

The FD was a doctrine of the FCC; they abolished it by themselves.
Are you new to English?

And no court ever interpreted it?
The FCC's guidelines for determining an "issue" were always vague and their inconsistent application by the FCC left them with NO precedent to go by.
You know, a legal road map for "fairness" as that is what this is all about anyway.
Furthermore the FCC, throughout most of the cases called, failed to articulate whether or not an issue was even of public importance or even "controversial".
This left licensees with little to NO guidance, refer to the "road map" statement above, on how to avoid violating the vague and rank amateurish written Fairness Doctrine "requirements".
What contrasting viewpoint should be shared? Most issues are not yes or no but rather a confluence of additional factors, issues and problems.
Who should be the appropriate spokesperson to share this "opposing view" and who chooses that person?
When will the counter point be shared so as to "ensure" the fairness of the coverage of the "issue"?
How often should the opposing view be shared?
How much total time in each broadcast would be considered "fair"?

Fair, I hate that vague and changing like the wind term.

Of course we'd never know, since they're carefully pre-screened out.

"We have people on the radio and TV, we can go down the list of people who are there for one reason only and that is to make you mad. And the formula for making you, the viewer or the listener mad hasn't changed a bit yet people keep falling for it. It amazes me.

"a lot of people say "Do you really believe the stuff you say." (puts on voice), 'I don't know that's for you to figure out'"
-- Rush Limbaugh on his tactics

Limpjob is a manipulator, not a commentator. He uses political rhetoric the same way a disc jockey uses records-- "music" to draw listenership. Though some sadly fall for the charade as if it's a valid political philosophy, all he's doing is attracting as much attention to himself as he can so that he can charge "confiscatory ad rates". That's his admitted goal. It's a self-absorbed circus, and P.T. Barnum's famous quote immediately comes to mind. As does another quote:

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain".
 
McCarthy was given his time to answer Murrow.

McCarthy was given 15 minutes to rebut Murrow, who had spent months, in concert with the other two networks, smearing and libeling McCarthy.

We know from the Venona Intercepts that Owen Lattimore was a Soviet spy, just as McCarthy had claimed. We know that Murrow used the power of the media to discredit McCarthy as part of a concerted effort to cover up treason by Lattimore and other Soviet agents.

We know now that Harry Hopkins was on the KGB payroll, just as Hoover and by extension McCarthy had said - but Murrow used the Goebbels technique of slandering the man to obscure the message. We know that Harry Dexter White was on the KGB payroll, just as McCarthy had said.

Time and again, McCarthy correctly identified Soviet agents in the United States government. The democrats had no way to defend against the facts, so they employed Murrow to do a hatchet job - a technique the left continues to this day, Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Dubya.

Slander and libel are the most potent weapon of the left, and the left welds it relentlessly - using not just the corrupted news media, but entertainment and alleged comedians as well. When was the last episode of any or the "Law and Order" franchise where George Bush was not attacked at some point?

So the claim that you leftist want "equal time" is patently absurd; your voice dominates the media, mostly drowning out the dissenting voices. But that still isn't enough for you, you want to completely silence any and all dissent.

Specifically. If Joe Bloggs on KRAP had had another program critical of McCarthy, then McCarthy would get time on KRAP.

Doubtful. Further, McCarthy could not monitor and rebut 300 party affiliates nation wide engaged in the campaign of libel that Murrow orchestrated.

This isn't rocket surgery. Without the FD in place, Murrow, Bloggs and anyone else go on the air and trash McCarthy and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. Had your ilk a clue of what you're talking about, you could not engage in this transparent Doublethink bullshit. You're not convincing anyone but each other, as it defies all logic.

Yet the party had utter and complete control of the news, and public opinion at that time. Now, you don't. So clearly, an alternative voice is more effective than occasional complaints by the victims of libel.

I understand that the left is concerned that you no longer have the censorship power you once did, yet you do control the government with the most far left PotUS in history.

Still, Limbaugh speaks against Dear Leader, and you cannot tolerate dissent.

Assuring ability to respond is "silencing dissent".
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.

and of course your cardinal Rule One:
Ignorance is Strength.

Rachel Maddow lacks the ability to respond? You mean, that unless talk radio is forced to give leftists the same time as they do the rational hosts, you cannot respond? That Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzen, Evan Thomas, Thrill up the leg Chrissy Matthews, et al, somehow can't offer the extreme left view?

ROFL

Obviously, the left has a level of saturation that dwarfs the right - but you cannot abide that the right has ANY voice, and demand that ALL dissent be silenced by the state.

Good luck with that.

I haven't listened to more than 10 minutes of Rush in the last 5 years.

Driven by insane hatred, you and other leftists like you, listen every day.

Rush Limbaugh is AN ENTERTAINER.
He gets paid to entertain. And no one confiscates any $$ from anyone to run ads on his show.
They are lined up around the block waiting to pay.
I have listened to his show as he is a master entertainer.
Do not believe in most of what he says as I am a Libertarian that believes in equal rights and opposed to the War on Drugs.
Limbaugh is a hypocrit, just like ALL talking head political entertainers be they left or right.
 
Oh, boy. Another Obama/leftist/liberal/progressive/commie/socialist/fascist conspiracy theory. God knows we don't have enough of them already.

This ought to be the new theme song of the looney right.

Well, in all honesty, I don't see it that way at all. I distinctly remember the angst that the left had in talk radio's heyday. Why wouldn't this be the opportunity they have looked for years now to destroy their nemesis?

The left has been upset since the demise of that propaganda machine called Air America, which was an abject failure. They have the idiot Bill Maher now on HBO (with negligible ratings) and Showtime is pushing that America hater and commie lover (I refuse to even mention that waste of human fleshes' name).

ABC has "The View" which is a pointless waste of time.

It never ceases to amaze me that the left pushes these ridiculous shows, but calls anyone who listens to the drivel on the radio - extremists.

So yes, I could most definitely see the left using this as a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to destroy. After all, that's what the left does best - they destroy.

When was the last episode of any or the "Law and Order" franchise where George Bush was not attacked at some point?

::yawn:: done yet? My god that was the most boring babblation ever. And completely irrelevant since Murrow's show wasn't about any of that; it was about McCarthy's tactics of witch hunting and its impact on freedom of speech. As he put it "dissent is not disloyalty". IOW as usual, the direct opposite of this comic book fantasy of yours.

How the fuck would I know about episodes of "Law and Order"? I take it that's a TV show. This is a thread about talk radio. I don't even watch television. By the way slander and libel are the same thing, in verbal or documented form. But neither is present just because you find an opinion you don't share. But you're off topic anyway. Again.

So the claim that you leftist want "equal time" is patently absurd; your voice dominates the media, mostly drowning out the dissenting voices. But that still isn't enough for you, you want to completely silence any and all dissent.

Right -- by ensuring rebuttal. What a brilliant plan that is. Duh.

Specifically. If Joe Bloggs on KRAP had had another program critical of McCarthy, then McCarthy would get time on KRAP.

Doubtful. Further, McCarthy could not monitor and rebut 300 party affiliates nation wide engaged in the campaign of libel that Murrow orchestrated.

Doubtful huh? That's exactly what Red Lion vs. FCC was about; the broadcast in question was a national network broadcast and WGCB, the petitioner, was one of many stations that carried the program.

This isn't rocket surgery. Without the FD in place, Murrow, Bloggs and anyone else go on the air and trash McCarthy and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. Had your ilk a clue of what you're talking about, you could not engage in this transparent Doublethink bullshit. You're not convincing anyone but each other, as it defies all logic.

Yet the party had utter and complete control of the news, and public opinion at that time. Now, you don't. So clearly, an alternative voice is more effective than occasional complaints by the victims of libel.

"Alternative voices" is exactly what the FD was about. You just shot your own point in the foot before it could walk. Duh.
Maybe I misspelled it: should be Duh-blethink.

"Complete control of the news and public opinion" in the age of Eisenhower and the Cold War. Jesus Christ on a freaking bicycle...

I understand that the left is concerned that you no longer have the censorship power you once did, yet you do control the government with the most far left PotUS in history.

Still, Limbaugh speaks against Dear Leader, and you cannot tolerate dissent.

ROFL

What the fuck does any of that mean? Who brought up these cable people and what do they have to do with anything? You keep trying to derail the subject why? Because you're floating obvious contradictions and want to get the spotlight off them, that's why. Didn't work before, doesn't work now, and won't work in the future.

Obviously, the left has a level of saturation that dwarfs the right - but you cannot abide that the right has ANY voice, and demand that ALL dissent be silenced by the state.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with learning English. As has been the case since the beginning of the thread, a lot of cheap bullshit self-contradictory claims offering no foundation whatsoever except paranoid fantasies of "everybody's against me". Not in the least impressed.

Actually serving the public interest in this case increases the dialog and has absolutely nothing to do with your boogyman the Bolsheviks.

The rule has nothing to do with paid telecom/media services.

The reason Dittoheads like you cringe at the thought of your Messiah's devious sermons being challenged is simply "you don't want an honest discussion". You'd rather toss insults like "Bolsheviks" and " Khmer Rouge types" than try and defend his obvious shallow talking points.

Your insult to working class liberals is noted.

Again and as has been stated many many times, the fairness doctrine sought not to limit the various public discussions but to expand them.

I think a purely partisan show like Rush and all the other political shows that want to broadcast a single political perspective 24/7 should be on pay radio.


Interesting to note that serving the public interest is a bad thing to the pseudo-cons. Oh and the FCC could just as easily bring the rule back if they so choose. However the President has said repeatedly that is not his intention.

Yes, Bolsheviks seeking to silence dissenting views is "serving the public interests.." Provided of course, that the "public" is merely and adjunct of the party.

In 1949, most communities in America had a single TV station, Columbia being the largest. Today, the average community in America has access to 6,000 television broadcasts, and millions more on the internet. So overwhelming are the number of channels that there are stations deducted to only fishing, or only sewing.

The reason you Khmer Rouge types squirt cum at the thought of the "fairness doctrine" it that it wouldn't affect the party propaganda efforts. MSNBC, a managed news and disinformation channel dedicated to the democratic party, would not be affected by the rule, since they are a cable channel and not transmitted on the airwaves. Even party controlled media such as NBC, CBS, and ABC could quickly change their national disinformation segments to cable only, since all of them are duel media, and avoid the fairness doctrine.

Which means the ruling would ONLY affect radio. Since conservatives are made up of the middle class, they are the ones in their cars, on the freeway going to work each day. Radio caters to those who work, ergo conservatives. Thus the goal here is to silence conservative thought and commentary, leaving television, which caters during the day to those who are either in the elite and don't work, or on government assistance, and don't work - ergo the left, free from any restriction.

Obviously you of the left think this ham-handed nonsense is really clever..

So tell me Comrade, what if you had your way and outlawed conservative thought and talk on the broadcast airwaves? What is to stop Limbaugh, Beck, Reagan, Elder, Etc. from simply forming a satellite network like Sirius and sidestepping your censorship effort?

Paraphrasing previous post: Bill Maher is AN ENTERTAINER. The View is ENTERTAINMENT. No idea who you're talking about on Showtime but no doubt that's another ENTERTAINER.

The fact that a comedian or an estrogen talk show reflects real life outside your Bubble doesn't make them a tool of the left; perhaps it makes them the real world you can't bring yourself out of the Bubble to face. What abject paranoia.

Not to mention -- "Why wouldn't this be the opportunity they have looked for years now to destroy their nemesis?" -- what the hell are you talking about? What "opportunity"?? This entire thread is based on a single blogger's paragraph that "the left is coming to silence talk radio"... a blogger who gave no basis or background whatsoever for that. Just an empty claim like Uncensored's bullshit. It's as if I told you there's a burglar coming to your house, and gave you no details at all because I just made it up. That's really all it takes, huh?

What's more, we've been asking since the start of the thread where this leftist censorship is or was, and have yet to hear anything more than crickets.

You guys just fall all over yourselves at the slightest suggestion. Paranoia strikes deep. That's why "Another Obama/leftist/liberal/progressive/commie/socialist/fascist conspiracy theory" applies. Some of y'all are drawn to it like moths to a flame. And in this case, you don't even need a flame; you just make one up. It's pretty pathetic.
 
lol at people defending joseph fucking mccarthy.

talk about disconnected from reality.

I know, right? :lmao:
More of that history revisionism along with "fascism is on the left" and "Roosevelt prolonged the Depression" and whatever else. I predict the next one will be "Nixon got framed". All part of a nefarious plan to scrub the history books. Funny thing is, they think anyone outside their own Bubble takes them seriously.

We could do a whole 'nother topic on McCarthy. (/offtopic)

Infotainment ... You can leave his show informed on something.....Whether you agree with him or not is irrelevant.....I sure wouldnt agree with Mahers hateful ass but I would want him taken off the air because I dont agree.

Yeah, we already know that much. Hypocrites.

Interesting contrast, Bill Maher and Lush Rimjob. Both talk politics; one of them always has guests from both "sides", the other never does. Guess which one is which.

So much for who wants dialogue and who wants monologue.
