Control the Flow of Information and You Control the Lives of Americans!*********************
That's where America is headed. Until the Fairness Doctrine was trashed, in the late 1980's the Left in America controlled the flow of information to Americans. Daily Newspapers, radio news, TV news, Public Affairs programs on the broadcast media, all the major news outlets espoused views to the left of the views of average Americans.
Consumers of news, in the US, were covered up with left wing news and views and leftward slanted editorializing… even with what would have been legitimate news stories.
Then the country actually allowed freedom of speech on the broadcast media and the tidal wave of conservative news and views and opinion swept all before it. The power of conservative ideas mauled the left wing media, badly. Conservative broadcasters, alone, can move the conservative giant in America to action unlike anything the left wing has seen. They knew the conservative giant was there but they kept it in a state of slumber with their monotone left wing mutterings. They knew that once the power of conservatism was loosed it would wreak havoc on their left wing propaganda machine. And it did!
When the right wing “talkers’ roared aloud on the AM broadcast spectrum… the conservatives… who had been slumbering in a left wing induced stupor, awoke and shrugged off the mantle of doom and gloom and pessimism and began to flex muscles they had forgotten they had. For the first time since the 1940’s conservative Americans had a voice. A voice in the public square! And they USED it!
Soon it became apparent that conservative spokesmen on the airwaves welded immense power…the power to move Americans to action… the power to influence elections… the power to influence legislation in the Congress and far more dangerous… the power to disseminate the truth to a truth starved nation. Conservative talk radio became the moving force in America. With some 70% of Americans holding conservative views, to one degree or another, on politics, religion, and social practices, the left wing suddenly found itself struggling to be heard above the booming voices from the right. Every attempt at re-establishing a beachhead on the broadcast spectrum was crushed save for one government sponsored broadcast system, paid for by tax money from conservatives as well as liberals.
The one area in American life where the left still holds the reins of power is in the various government agencies. The American government is run by liberals who train from the crib to college for lives as bureaucrats holding power over the masses. That kind of job is anathema to conservatives. As a result, few real conservatives work in government. But for those liberals who do, the writing has been on the wall for sometime. The conservative talkers on the broadcast media are thwarting them and those powerful conservatives must be stopped!
But… what to do? Ahhh. That is the question. Re-imposition of the Fairness Doctrine… plus, add on the Equal Time Rule. (By the way, for those of you not familiar with broadcasting… the “Fairness Doctrine” and the “Equal Time Rule” are separate things… not one and the same… as many people think.) The left knows the Fairness Doctrine alone will squash right wing talkers and the Equal Time Rule will bury them.
And… it is pay back time! After the right wing talkers moved their audiences to crush the Amnesty Bill in the US Senate, the left wing began to gear up to crush the upstarts on the right.
It has been said there is no conservative leadership in Washington DC, in the US government. That is true. So… where does the right wing leadership come from? Of course, the conservative leadership comes for the right wing radio hosts and TV hosts. The seat of power for the right wing in America is on the Broadcast spectrum! On the Internet, conservative bloggers are catching up, and quickly.
The Conservative Internet? Well, it is young and suffering the pangs of youth but… it IS growing and… it IS becoming stronger on a daily basis. Blogs, such as this one, and millions of other right wing blogs are carrying the “Conservative Message” to the entire world… not just to the US! The left knows they cannot hope to vanquish the “conservative movement” in America by silencing right wing radio and TV alone. To be effective they MUST silence both the right wing broadcasters and the right wing bloggers. They are two sides of the same coin.
Conservatives must not relax during this time of “pull-back” by the left. They’ll come roaring back, in a few weeks, and silencing the “conservative message machine” will be second on their minds... only... to winning the election in ’08!
Be ready!

I don't know what country you live in sir, but or MSM has such a corporate slant to it that it is and extension of the main political push to increase facism and corpoarte power globally. We need a true labor movemnet in this country if we want to secure our borders and save our jobs and our middle class. All our main stream news sources focus on is turning corporate talking points into news. Our government is in it's last throws, due to overspending, and shifting money that should be spent on infastructure and improving the standard of living for all to private interests and no one in the MSM will report that sad truth. They do control what we hear and we as a nation are paying the price.
