Latest Chapter in 'Welcome to Democratland'

t's time for another chapter of our continuing "Big Story" saga called "Welcome to Democratland"!

In Democratland, the only thing that you need to know is that things are going to change. The Iraq war is going to change, the tax laws are going to change, and Democrats are already practicing their White House act, since they regard the current president as nothing more than an occupant of public housing and soon one of their own will take his place at the levers of power.

But here are some other things that will change. In Democratland it will soon be illegal to run a conservative talk radio program, and it will soon be law that the Minutemen — the citizen border patrol keeping an eye on the Mexican border — will be classified domestic terrorists.

Let's go over the first. Long ago and far away, people like me used to live under something called the Fairness Doctrine. This was a FCC rule that opinion had to be presented with its counter opinion. So television and radio was essentially a discussion punctuated by the anchor or host saying "and now for the other side of the issue..." We used to have to put a stopwatch on opinion and partisan commentary. One side had to get the same amount of time as the other side, and there wasn't room for much deviation.

That all went away with the great profusion of new radio stations and new television outlets, and consequently there is a lot of conservative radio, and there is fair and balanced TV, right here at FOX.

"...and there is fair and balanced TV, right here at FOX."

:rofl:

2. Oh, but for the return of the Fairness Doctrine. Of course, Faux

would get around it by using mealy mouthed Faux liberals, thus still remaining fairly unbalanced.

5. No, let John Gibson spew. He is a blithering idiot.

Don't use him as a reason to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. He has the IQ of a pencil.

3. "there wasn't room for much deviation"

Now that that pesky Fairness Doctrine is out of the way, there's plenty of room for deviation, not to mention deviance.

4. John Gibson is a whore. Keith Olbermann used to call him "friend."

And please, no offense meant to whores. John Gibson is trying to become the next Rush or O'Reilly, and so like Dick Morris et al tries to be more "over the top" in his comments and behavior than the next Faux News commentator. He is doubly cursed, because I do not believe for a minute he buys into one tenth the crap he spouts. But, because he has chosen his (well compensated) role in life, he also deserves to be considered less than the dung you step in. So be it, John. And got to scrape that shit right off your shoes.
