Peruse the following commentary as well, some more, very critical arguments are developed after the article.

The foundational precept on which the “Fairness Doctrine” will thrive is the ridiculous notion of ‘objective journalism.’ This institutionalized astro-turfing notoriously began with Hoover’s Federal Radio Commission in 1927. This autocratic monstrosity has given rise to all supposed truth emanating from AP, Reuters and other so-called news agencies. Soon to include Politico for good measure. The easy fix is in. This is how the MSM et al. are able to dismiss any charges advocacy journalism. They, in lockstep, incestuously claim objectivity for the lot of their apparatchik brethren. Their cover is absolute, however thin and ridiculous. It is nakedly apparent, but still unheeded by vast swaths of the sheeple. It’s strength is found in it’s utter simplicity.

Check out Joe The Plumber on CNN w/ John Roberts. The clip is at HotAir.com.

Notice Robert’s instantly visceral reaction to being questioned by the plebeian plumber. That telling moment has given many apoplectic pause. Btw, Joe did not back down. Palin needs him in her circle or Ohio needs to elect Joe to AG.

The right does not maintain this nonsensical standard and prefers the default on which this country was wisely founded upon, unabashed advocacy journalism; to which we must desperately return if we are to continue this, Our Great Republic.

The right debates infinitum, but are unjustly accused as authoritarian. The left (MSM) dictates and then proceeds to cleverly convince enough of the foolish that the exact opposite is true of their methods. True ciphers they are.

The Free Republic thread below elucidates quite vividly the supreme fraud on which today’s so-called free-press is founded.

The AP has been allowed to subversively lay claim the the monopoly of everyday truth. We can all plainly see the folly in such arrogant conceit.

However, many everyday decision maker’s of import have been duped into foolishly singing from the left’s AP-songbook, thereby blindly creating an alternate “astro-turfed” reality that the ill-informed drones believe as fact. All the while as they witness the continued valiant flailing of the right. This cultural template has proven quite unwieldy and rather detrimental to the proper exposure of fact (I.E. the banking crisis and it’s true genesis).

This is why Talk radio must be destroyed.

Rush and his ilk shatter this foundational template of societal left-speak.

Moreover, Net Neutrality, or some derivation thereof, will be marshaled so as to tamp down the recalcitrant Right Wing blogosphere. . . fyi.

This AP monopoly is a well perped construct and we must recognize it and begrudgingly give credit where it is due, and then begin to wholly destroy it.

If you think the MSM ivory tower types will lend any credence to the notion that they must return the favor of rebuttal vis a vi the Fairness Doctrine, your delusional and have already unwittingly ceded the debate.

They maintain the iron-clad mindset of objectivity and are thus beyond our most valid reproach. For us to have the temerity to think otherwise, is laughable initially and heretical if we persist.

It is this basic construct which must be attacked and must be rendered null and void.

Think “The Matrix,” but without the ridiculous, anti-climatic rapprochement at the trilogy’s end. Damn that pissed me off. In our realm, Neo must destroy the Matrix and free the human Energizers. Nothing less will prove fruitful in the end.

Satan’s greatest trick was to lure man into the belief that he does not exist and is merely figment of the troglodyte’s imagination.

The AP, et al is not far behind his noted success.

I advise all patriots concerned to change your bedtime reading for a while.

I do however have a backgound in the media and I don’t see the Fairness Doctrine happening. Boehner and the other critics are right that it might restrict free speech. As far as conservative talk radio, I see keep ‘em talking. Let the marketplace determine how far they are allowed to go.

From CNSNews.com….

“”In a newspaper interview on Monday, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said she would work on bringing back the federal regulation that requires equal time for the expression of different political views on the public airwaves.

Boehner and other critics say Democrats want to re-impose the Fairness Doctrine to force an end to conservative talk radio. (While syndicated conservative talk-radio shows have been successful, liberal alternatives have flopped. The Fairness Doctrine would require radio stations to balance the conservative money-makers with liberal duds, something the stations undoubtedly would refuse to do. They would be forced to cancel successful shows touting conservative viewpoints.)

“The so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine’ would restrict free speech on the public airwaves, stifling dissent at a time when an open national dialogue about our country’s future is essential,” Boehner said in a news release on Tuesday.

“The American people do not believe the federal government should be in the business of dictating or restricting the content of political speech. I’m troubled by Rep. Eshoo’s comments, and my hope is that President-elect Obama will speak out against efforts by members of his party to use their majority power to limit free speech and dissent.”

Rep. Eshoo told the Palo Alto Daily Post on Monday that she believes in the Fairness Doctrine and will “work on bringing it back.”

Eshoo reportedly wants the regulation to apply not only to radio and television, but also to cable and satellite TV. “”
