in no way am i advocating removing any shows at all. but how can someone call trying to get the 'other side' on the air censorship? it seems it's the exact opposite.

i always thought that the market would dictate what would or could be aired, and it certainly seems that liberal radio doesn't fly. but if the issue comes down to broadcast licensing being out of reach to one side, then wouldn't that be an issue?

i guess all i'm really arguing is that it's incorrect to call having both sides on the air as being censorship.

I dont see anyone being denied the right to express their point of view , it cant be helped if no one wants to tune into a certain point of view. Supply and demand yeah?

That's majority rule. It's what Conservatives tend to gravitate towards. If they're wrong about something, then there is no way they can possibly correct themselves. That's why there would be segregation (still today) in the South. "If you don't like it, then leave." Most people wanted it. So, how would it have changed? Change had to be forced on them by the Federal Gov't, because they would of never changed on their own(opposing views weren't encouraged.) They couldn't correct it on their own. If you don't encourage opposite views, then how would you ever be able to recognize a flaw in the popular thinking? You wouldn't. You couldn't.

They would never have changed if they weren't forced to.
