A couple of years ago, I referred to the Charlotte area as a talk radio desert. There was only one station that had any semblance of a conservative format and that was 1110 WBT. I could not wait for the 12:00 time slot, which of course, is when Rush Limbaugh comes on. And believe me, it is the fastest three hours in talk radio because to state it quite frankly, the local talent sucks.
Every once in a while, depending on the topic, I would
listen to Diane Rehm on NPR.
Her show is usually filled with a bunch of libtards spewing liberal
propaganda. However, I can say that she
is better than silence.
Recently, other stations have popped up in the
market, notably 1660 AM and 94.5 FM which hails from South Carolina. Lately, I’ve resorted to downloading some
shows that are not available during work hours or conflicts with Rush such as
Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham.
The reason I’m bringing this topic up is because the
Charlotte Observer published an op-ed by a professor at the UNC School of Media
and Journalism. Mr. Jim Hefner believes
the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated and that republicans should get
behind this effort to silence the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and
Glenn Beck. Did I mention this should be
done in the name of fairness?
His argument is the public airwaves shouldn’t be
filled with a bunch of right-wing blowhards who have divided this country and
the Republican Party. Mr. Hefner is
under the impression that white males are somehow constrained and force fed
propaganda. He refuses to believe that
there is a market for conservatives with a dissenting point of view.
This so-called professor is outraged that
conservatives have taken over the public airwaves. After all he, I mean the public, owns
it. Why should Rush Limbaugh and a coterie
of conservatives make millions of dollars off of his airwaves? How dare they!
Well, Professor Hefner, I have a gripe too. Why isn’t there a Fairness Doctrine in our
university system? Shouldn’t our public
schools have a balanced education for young, impressionable students who are
being spoon fed a dose of your lies and stupidity on a daily basis? Unlike the public airwaves, students are
forced to sit in your indoctrination classes at an exorbitant cost. Listeners can turn off the radio. Students have to endure your bullshit in
order to obtain a degree. How is that
fair?
So I say North Carolinians should demand a Fairness
Doctrine in our public school systems. After
all, a mind is a terrible thing to corrupt!
