The Worry About the Fairness Doctrine

Of course, Chuck Shumer’s comments are silly comparing RIGHT Talk Radio and pornography but he may very well have the votes to push another “Fairness Doctrine” on the American people through Congress.

Should the GOP fail to win at least 40 seats in the United States Senate tonight, Flap would recommend divesting your investments in broadcast radio.

Now, Ruish Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and a few others would immediately move to Sirius Satellite Radio where the federal government cannot regulate content. This is a direction that radio is eventually heading anyway but buying a stake in that company will pay some dividends in the “NEAR” future.

Broadcast radio will crash as station managers are forced to balance political speech and nobody listens – remember Air America?
