Fairness, Shmairness . . .



“Life is not fair; get used to it.”
~ Bill Gates


Ok, so it's been awhile since I channeled in the inner angry gnome, but the more I heard about this "Fairness Doctrine" bullshit, the more I feel like breaking electronic equipment and punting small furry woodland creatures. So what's this all about? Well the "Fairness Doctrine" was a mandated rule by the FCC from 1949 to 1987 that basically said that if there was a controversial political issue both sides of the issue were required to have equal airtime. What's so bad about that, right? Well, I suppose in 1949 when there were very few radio programs for consumers to pick from, then it was probably important to try and offer two sides to any given issue. Is such the case today? Come on geniuses - is it? Obviously not.

I will tell you what this about in two words: talk radio. Liberals do not control this medium and it drives them nuts. Lets look at the media shall we? Where do the fruits, perverts, and mental midgets control the media? Hollywood? Check. MSNBC, CNN? Check. LA Times, NY Times? Check. Time, Newsweek, US News and world Reports? Check. Colleges and Universities? Check. In fact outside of talk radio, the defectives do not control Fox News or the Wall Street Journal, and you might argue the Washinton Post. So I am to believe that the world is unfair with regard to political message when so very few outlets outside of talk radio can be characterized as conservative in the face of an overwhelming liberal media everywhere else? Seriously, give me a fucking break. What you have is a bunch of whiney, loser bitches. The liberals tried their talk radio, and no one listened because it was pussy, liberal bullshit. We live in a free market and if people wanted to hear liberal nonsense on the radio, Air America would be alive and kicking. So since these losers can't hang, they insist on turning their sour grapes into a vehicle that will restrict what they themselves could not fight. What a bunch of sad and silly bitches . . . it's contemptable. I do not know how I am supposed to have respect for liberals and their lame ideas when they resort to feeble and anemic tactics.

Therefore . . . in reality this is just one more assault on free speech (remember "thought police"?). Liberals are losing the war of ideas in the free marketplace and this "fairness" nonsense is nothing more than a tacit admission. Being unable to compete with conservatives in the arena of rhetoric, facts and reasoned argument, liberals are resorting to the Stalinist/Nazi method of stifling all dissenting points of view. Unable to out-argue and out-debate conservative radio hosts, they will attemp to silence them.

Control all the information, and stifle the debate, you may program and brainwash at will.
