It's not "Fairness" ... it's not "balance" ... it's not "running conservative talk off the airwaves"
it's AIRWAVE WELFARE ...

these mega corporations are using the PUBLIC airwaves FOR FREE ... apparently, that's yet another WELFARE GIVEAWAY that corporations and conservatives enjoy while denouncing any kind of aid to the real average joes ...

and if some guy with ingenuity decides to walk all over the signal of a Clear Channel station, what happens? The government FCC steps in and shuts it down and presses charges and levies fines ...

2. well, not quite
After all they do have to bid on the airwaves and pay that to the government. As far as walking over the signal, that is illegal, and I sure hope you are not advocating criminal actions....

5. because it sure
sounds like you are condoning them here. If you want change, then you pretty much need to maintain the moral high ground to make your case. Otherwise you become what you despise.

6. it seems like you are taking yet another of your flying leaps of logic
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 03:11 PM by zbdent
at something that isn't even hinted at.

I was providing one example of what a place like Clear Channel would do if someone horned in on their frequencies.

It is only in your twisted mentality that someone would think that I was advocating any such thing.

But that apparently doesn't matter to you ... you have an agenda, and you're sticking to it, from what I've seen of your posts ...

edited to add ...

and this will likely turn into one of your chains of astronomical leaps at something which only exists in your mind ...

3. I agree.
The real welfare recipients are the rich, the powerful, and the connected. What a welfare Mom receives is a pittance in comparison.
