Subject: RE: BS: Sarah Palin will resign on July 26!
Here's the problem with the "Fairness Doctrine." 1. The reason people on the right listen to talk radio is because they work. They are in their cars either going to, or coming home from work when they listen to the programs. 2. People on the left do not listen to talk radio because they are at home on welfare. The media they are exposed to are sit-coms and sports casts on television. 3. If a media outlet had to present one hour of Rush Limbaugh and then one hour of somebody like Al Franken, the second hour would be simply dead air because nobody would be listening. That's why Air-America went broke so many times. 4. The sponsors would pull their ads from the second hour and the outlet would go broke. Nobody who works wants to hear that shit.
