Look at it this way, if liberals started supporting and listening to their talk shows then things would change. The conservatives tend to keep things to themselves until things get so out of hand that they must speak up. They are then labeled an 'angry mob' by the left.

Our freedoms are precious and if we're not careful, they will be taken away from us. Once they are, it will be too late to react. Get informed and do your due diligence.

I'm not optimistic either, because there will always be some dishonest power-hungry politician like Obama who will shoot public campaign financing down.

We agree on public campaign financing. It's the only way to stop the American decline. I'm not optimistic.

I've come to believe in public campaign financing. Too bad Obama doesn't. He broke his pledge. McCain did believe in it, and look where it got him. Obama had an enormous money edge in '08.

I think that I understand the people the people you are talking about. I wouldn't characterize them as Libs. They're merely the boys who bought off the Democratic Party about 30 years ago. Nothing liberal about them. Republicans were drawing financially from the defense industry old money, and the Bible Belt. At the time, Republicans became pretty successful at raising money and winning elections. A group called the Democratic Leadership Council, led by Bill Clinton, decided that to compete, they would have to focus on raising money first and tend to their traditional constituency second if at all. The Reagan tax cuts had their intended effect of dumping a ton of money on Wall Street which fell into the hands whose ride on the speculative bubble gave them the hubris to think that they were somehow exempt financial common sense. These people weren't liberals, they weren't conservatives, they were Democrats and they were Republicans. There's one thing they have in common. To put it gently, they are investors who realize that the biggest return for their money comes from buying politicians on the cheap. Nothing will change until we remove money as the main source of electoral success, and the main predictor of a politician's vote.

I really wonder what color the sky is in your world. Are you actually trying to tell me that the liberal side of the argument is NOT being heard in our country ? Obama in the White House. Democrats in control of Congress. The left having the advantage in tv, newspapers, Hollywood, and schools. I mean, you couldn't have made a more incorrect statement than the one above.

But yeah, the conservatives have those two or three radio stations. Ewwww, so scary.

That problem exists in spades on radio today. The zillions of lies from the crazy right have no airtime on public radio to counter them.

However, I realize that extreme conservative capitalists believe that Americans should not have the right to hear both sides,….but instead, to hear what they want to hear. You know, like shopping for breakfast cereal.

So…we have allowed profits to drive media….and now, we are only told what the corporate capitalists want us to hear.

Yeah, yeah, Americans have the right to choose….but when all there is to choose from is biased and propaganda filled….then what?

Conservative radio is biased.
Liberal radio is biased.
Sports radio is biased.

Hell, even that Saturday morning radio show about fixing your house is biased towards home owners and do-it-yourselfers.

Where is the outcry there!!! Where is the social JUSTICE!!! Why isn't there an equal number of shows for lazy, apartment renters who depend on others to fix things for them?!!!

Oh wait… that's liberal radio…

According to the comments here, it appears that conservatives do not want biased conservative radio, the airwaves on which they broadcast being owned by the people, to have any counterwight bias from the left to even existbe.

Some conservative thinking, that. According to conservatives the public airwaves are to be used exclusively for the purpose of spreading biased, and false, information.

At least conservatives are being up front about it.

I love this question. It is so completely perverted. First is the presupposition that conservative talk radio is all lies, which is nothing but a reflection of the Rev's own political bias. Second is the notion that the government must combat the "lies," which is nothing but an advocation for government censorship of free speech, a demonstrably anti-american idea. Maybe the liberal stormtroopers can burn all those conservative books next, Rev.

As always, the liberal stormtroopers see nothing wrong in the media areas where liberals have the advantage (nearly all of them), only in the ONE area in which conservatives do. Sieg Heil, Rev.

Oh what the heck, Rev can you tell me how we really learn what is going on in DC without at least some right oriented newscasts? I will simplify this by asking how we keep up with the twists and turns of our present administration concerning so many things. Yesterday morning the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius said on tv that the public option wasn't the be all, end all that it had been. My morning paper reported that today but right after I read that the reporter on Fox News said that last night people higher up than she said that that part of the much discussed health insurance bill was back in its important position.

Rev, how do we know what they are doing? Lloyd has sounded the death knell for other than liberal talk radio. Whoops!!! Rev have you noticed the word that keeps popping up in that discussion. Diversity. Why that is even part of Lloyd's title. Well now, what happens if all the local radio stations in the nation that carry Rush Limbaugh have people of those diverse groups listed as the owners? Black or Hispanic people could easily be on boards of directors or at the head position. How would Lloyd deal with that? If I can see the use of diversity surely some sharp lawyers can take that a bit further.

It just gets better and better.

This attempt to destroy conservative talk radio is nothing but the desire to destroy those people so they can't tell the other side of political arguments. I am sure that few Dems really believe that Stu Smalley was disseminating nothing bur propaganda.

The radio spectrum is owned by the public. That is not true of newspapers, cable teevee, or even education.

Since we own the radio spectrum….the government has every right to protect against lies, propaganda and disinformation on those radio stations. No one is suggesting that right wing radio should be eliminated…..just balanced with other stations that correct the right's errors.

Lets hear you comment on the words of King talking the print media, faculties at most state universities, national television, Fox excepted, being left oriented. Do you really believe that he is wrong. I never can see why lefties like you can't see what is going on around you.

It is quite obvious to me why Mark Lloyd didn't think there needed to be another Fairness Doctrine since the first one didn't work as the left wanted it to work. With the insertion of this latest "control" of conservative talk radio I can see why he felt that way. If this thing gets past the Supreme Court, as my son said, there is no more freedom of expression if it doesn't agree with what progressives are thinking.

King, a great job of reporting this obviously long planned bit of liberal crap to us.
