Talk radio at it's worse

Actually it is the right of hte people that live in the area to recall an elected official if they want. The poeple on the radio can bring it up and talk about it (freedom of speech and all that)....but if the people in the area are not interested it will not get them any where. So I say there is no harm in this. The only way it is going to happen is if the voters in the area get together and decide if they want it. So let them talk all they want. IT is not hurting anyone if the voters like the current mayor they will ignore them and if he does get recalled it will be because the votered decided it was a good idea and exercised their right to recall. So why is it going too far? At the end of the day the voters get the final say. Which is as it should be. As for the fairness doctrine.....very very bad idea. If you do not like what you are hearing then turn the dial or press the button to get to another channel. It is that simple. We do not have a need for a so called "fairness doctrine".

It's not much different from local newspapers curbing their 'reporting' of events in an attempt to manipulate the masses. Even the MSM is guilty of that, lol. IMO, the time of neutral reporting and responsible use of 'airwaves' have long been over. One can only hope that people know better and can look beyond 'hate speeches'. Personally I think the Fairness Doctrine is a terrible idea. People just have to learn to check several sources before forming their own opinion. The media in any form is not much different than the stump speeches of the olden days. They are just reaching more people. People who want to influence the opinion of others will find a way. If not over the airwaves, it'll be through other means of communication. People who are pro Fairness Doctrine should take that into consideration. Also, that not too many people really listen to those talk radio hosts and also totally believe what is being said. Rush Limbaugh for example, yes, there are a lot of people who listen to him, the majority probably agrees with most of his opinions. But I have also found that most of his listeners think that while they like his ideals at least for the most part he is a too extreme. In the case of what is taking place in your city... well, people who dislike the mayor will listen, only a few might follow a call to action, the rest will laugh or just turn off the radio or change the channel. Crazies can be found anywhere;)
