That is ratings-driven infotainment. *People can't take their eyes off
him. *Let's face it, Mr. McCain doesn't really ooze charisma.


The subject however is the lack of diverse opinions on the talk radio
and the distorted impression of what is mainstream opinion that
distortion creates.


* Ah. So, only talk radio need be balanced. Got it.


- It is a finite resource and part of the commons. *
- It should not be used to the detriment of one part
- of the people while advancing the interests of a
- much smaller part of society.

Balance the 2800+ Liberal NPR FM Radio Stations
{that are Tax Supported} -versus- The roughly 1000+
Conservative Commercial AM Radio Stations that
are Privately 'paid for' through Advertising.

To Be Fair-and-Balance {Fairness Doctrine} the Number
of NPR FM Radio Stations should by Law be Cut-in-Half.
