Oh, now you pick Sharpton up off the ground(after you've torn him apart for years,) and use him as an example?

Just amazing how people use him as an example of something wrong, and then turn around and use him to try to prove some Conservative bull is a good thing.

Put 2 and 2 together.
Lefties are the only ones calling for it cause right-wing talk radio is beating'em
senseless in the ratings.

Quit your cryin' when there are still thousands of places to listen to whoever will
tell you what you want to hear.
This isn't lefties crying. Look who started the thread. It's a response to the Farness Doctrine coming back(only reason it was gone was Reagan, Scalia, Bork etc.) It's about adding alternative views. I don't know how that's censorship.

If the left can pay for their views to be shared on the airwaves then so be it
but that doesn't mean that the govt. needs to fund their shows.

"The necessity for the Fairness Doctrine, arises from the fact that there are many fewer broadcast licenses than people who would like to have them. Unlike publishing, where the tools of the trade are in more or less endless supply, broadcasting licenses are limited by the finite number of available frequencies. Thus, as trustees of a scarce public resource, licensees accept certain public interest obligations in exchange for the exclusive use of limited public airwaves. One such obligation was the Fairness Doctrine, which was meant to ensure that a variety of views, beyond those of the licensees and those they favored, were heard on the airwaves.

Why does someone have to listen to something they dont like? Turn it off if you dont agree or dont want to hear it , then you can use another one of your freedoms to put something on that will make you smile.

Well, no, someone else wanted to debate about it. I didn't start the thread. Someone called it censorship. It's not censorship. Maybe a kid growing up in Alabama should be exposed to more than just the one view on their airways. You live in California, and you're assuming other areas have our choices of views to listen to. They don't. You're assuming there is access to alternative views everywhere.

So a kid in Alabama has no other source of information to see all points of view but a radio station? I didnt know they didnt have libraries or newspapers or internet or television in Alabama . I havent lived in California all my life and somehow I have always been able to get information when I needed it . I think they should give 4 billion dollars to Alabama in the stimulis package so they can have sources of information besides radio so that the children of the state can be informed .

Whatever your views are, they should be well thought out enough to hold up when criticized by someone who disagrees with them. Most all the bad things that humans have done happened when a lack of opposing views were around. Be it Nazi Germany. Be it when The Japanese were slaughtering the people they did.

Scuds , come on , if you are of a certain faith should churches of other faiths be forced to preach your brand if you happen to show up at their church one day? Its about freedom to express , anyone who buys airtime as long as the people abide by the rules of the FCC they should be able to say their point of view without another view if they so choose. , if you dont like it you can buy airtime and advertise you are stating an opposing view and people can choose to listen or not.
Its not like we dont have choices in this country and that is what makes it so great , we can choose to be ,do and LISTEN to what we want as long as it doesnt break any laws.

Churches aren't public places. Airwaves are Gov't owned, and people buy a license to use that frequency. They don't own that frequency. So, this is an effort to keep people with only one point of view from buying up all the licenses for the frequencies. From what you're saying, if you're in a Conservative State (where Progressive radio is not commercially viable,) then only Conservative view points should be heard there. No alternative opinions heard there, because not enough people there are progressive.

I know you live in California but do you really think that the current state of news information in this country is one sided or close to Nazi Germany?

I could have listed the obvious right-wingers that object to it.

That would've made you feel better ?

As long as it's the truth I'll use any example as I please.
Why do you bring up Sharpton? I've never read anyone on here say they like him. So, how would his opinion have any worth in proving anything? After the Tawana Brawley case, it's amazing he gets any air-time at all. One of the reasons that thing in Oakland happened was a cancer like him. He has no career unless he can make it look like the police are the enemy of Black People. So, I am just asking, how is his opinion of value to anybody on here?

The Fairness Doctrine is total bullpucky ..... if you dont like hearing something dont listen to it , if you dont want to watch something dont watch it. I dont like hip hop and rap so I dont listen to those stations , but should those stations be forced to play rock because I dont like crap music , of course not. If someone doesnt like what they hear they can exercise their right to turn it the f*** off.
