Can we please let this die a natural death?

Well thanks for the explanation mr.72!

What a great forum! I learn something new here everyday!

I read about it all the time in that propaganda rag I get every month, called "American Rifleman". I read that sucker cover to cover. Current events suggest that the FCC is now trying to get rid of the large right-wing broadcasters and allow "local" (read that as "the Proletariat") stations to take their place.

Not to argue with you, but can you cite some instances where that is happening?

I see quite the contrary happening. There are new networks emerging targeting the hunting, shooting, fishing and outdoor activities. The Sportsman Channel, Hunting Channel, Outdoors Channel.

They broadcast daily episodes devoted to hunting, fishing and shooting. There are about 6 or 7 programs devoted exclusively to guns, self defense and shooting. Guns & Ammo Magazine and the NRA themselves have shows aired several times per week.

And these are emerging networks, not the tried and true big 3 or little 5 networks we all grew up with.

There are many emerging TV networks that have a very broad viewer base. And they cover the entire spectrum of human interests. Some I don't care for at all, and I don't watch them. It's my choice.

The FCC also regulates radio stations. The AM dial is overloaded with talk shows. And to my knowledge, every one of them is conservative in nature. Many are TO conservative for my tastes. I don't know of any liberal talk shows out there, except those you can get on a subscription basis only.

Finally, the MPAA is a rating organization. IMO it is beneficial, and serves a purpose. It is not a censorship organization. Isn't every motion picture produced nowadays rated by MPAA? (I ask that in sincerity because I really don't know)

TAM, very well put sir! I embrace all you say.

TDDude, OUTSTANDING POST! Your sincerity came through.

Not only do you get 2 thumbs up from me, , but in my book, you've won the "Outstanding Post of the Month" award.

How appropriate! Love it!

Wow! Good post austinrealtor! You said it a lot better than I ever could. I share most if not all of those sentiments.

Fiddlesticks. I check in this morning and see this thread is half way down on page 1. Then I come back late this afternoon and see it's gone to 5 pages, AND there is finally something I can comment on, and now the complexion of the thread has changed again.

Does nothing ever remain the same?

I love scotch, but I'm a conservative....scotch drinker. I prefer the Iverson's Scotch at $11.99 per litre! How's THAT for fiscal responsibility?

Gosh I love this forum!

I try to restrict myself purely to CHL topics at this point.

I try to restrict myself to harassing USA1 at every opportunity.
