i was listening to some radio station about a month ago driving through Knoxville, TN. He said if the Dem. get there way you won't be able to talk bad or about one side and not the other. EX: lets say a REP. got on the air and was talking for 5 mins, and a DEM didn't get there turn or was allowed to say anything for 5min, they could sue the Radio Station and shut them down cause they weren't allowed to talk there 5min. this pretty much goes with any other group or organization.

Anybody here about this, or know even if this is possible.

  I dont think so...they dont follow up every Rush Limbaugh show with an Al Franken or Eddie Schultz. Rush used to have a couple congressmen sit in during his absences.
  Radio stations sell advertising and target particular audiences to gain revenue. Even if Sirius radio takes over, there will still be free radio out there as long as there is an audience.
  I believe that the opposing party gets a rebuttal afterthe "Presidential addresses" only as a matter of courtesy not a matter of law. My $.02

  Nothing new here. It's called the Fairness Doctrine.

  I doubt the Dems would do that. It would screw up their monopoly on airtime.[}:)]

  Yea, they own 90% of the newspapers and TV outlets. Let them try that one and see how many lawsuits happen.[:0]
