Ladies and gentlemen, that noise you hear is the sigh of EVERY true American who loves their 1st amendment...
Nearly half of Americans (47%) believe the government should require all radio and television stations to offer equal amounts of conservative and
liberal political commentary, but they draw the line at imposing that same requirement on the Internet.
This article is so terrifying... The only thing entering my mind is a Soviet Style regime controlling everything... I don't know if is because of the
stories I have heard, or the stuff I have read...
This is just Wrong... It’s like half our country doesn't care about this country, or our liberties...
Something is wrong here... Either they happen to call a large percentage of anti-American Morons that day, or the US is in some serious trouble...
What does it mean when 1/2 the population would submit to a soviet style-government-led-media... AND WILLINGFULLY...
The US HAD a free press, and over the MANY years, the very-most-interworkings of the US government have been working to strip us of these freedoms...
Now the government wants to be able to tell you BOTH sides, EQUALY, implying that there are ONLY
2, and that the government will choose both
options for you...
Have we come this far... are we at the edge, ready to commit cultural suicide...
The Article also talks about government censored INTERNET... but only ~40% favor that... so back to the Propaganda Machine(Cable Television) on that
one
Democrats are more supportive of government involvement in the airwaves than Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Fifty-four percent (54%) of
Democrats favor it, and only 26% are opposed. Republicans and unaffiliated voters are fairly evenly divided.
Another fact in my observation, that the 'Democrat' party is more insane then the Average American... How... We can all admit that the US has a fair
amount of insane people, or those who are just downright morons... So these stats(although without TOTAL stats from the horrible source) we can make
2 conclusions... But takes some thought cause in typical media fashion, most stats are left out
Now, both those who identify themselves as republican or unaffiliated, are BOTH less Supportive of Government-run-Media. As opposed to the MAJORITY of
Democrats, who would welcome a media-media with open arms... What a government media, Well, ALL TOTALIATARIAN leaderships evoke government-controlled
media, as one of a few measures...
Now, me holding no bias, would assume that the clearly insane, or morons would file into Dems and Reps equally, with a similar % of crazies holding no
affiliations...
BUT on this case, the Dems have attracted more morons... What does it mean, who knows... Probably that libs are just still mad over the failure of
'Air America'...
This is quite insane...
I can't imagine talking to ANYONE who would want DIRECT-GOVERMENT control into the media... I mean, I know the government has a GREAR track record
for running things efficiently, and fair... But, what about the free markets...
It’s my belief that the ratings are what control the market...
In television, companies are able to use flashy Gimmicks, and sex, to sell SUBPAR content, and this is what has morphed the Major News Networks in the
US into a 99% liberal media...
On the Radio waves, the converse is true, Conservative Radio holds a near 70% hold on the Market. Why? My theory. With the Radio, it is an older form,
it’s easier to hear BS on with no flashy gimmicks to look at, or sexy blondes to distract you. This means you are focused in on the THOUGHTS, and
REASONING of the speaker...
For Radio, take this for example, A radio program that relates the news of the day, to significant historical events in history.
vs
A news program that has a discussion with two Partners, and their teenager who is transsexual...
Now Take the same conversations, and put it on the Television...
You get something like the history channel
vs
What was on BBC yesterday...
On the Radio, you can engage your mind and envision the ideas, with FULL CONCETRATION... naturally, leading to the logic based, reasoning topics...
On the Television, you can look at all the pictures of the people in question(it makes me sick even thinking about it), Girls gone wild ads, and read
a description of a news program like the one above... (It went like, "... Follows the story of a teen that gets his genitals surgically altered to
become a woman... I was watching TV with 4 other dudes and a girl, and we all went AHHH, WTF, and BLAH...)
But, that’s just me...
I would love to hear what you all think...
About this unfairness doctrine... I can't imagine ANYONE that would willingly want the government to run its media... But, then again, I guess I can
expect 47%(or MORE) of you to disagree....
