...I wonder if I will hear another Alex Jones meltdown after the election
with a marxist terrorist for president. I swear he sounded this close to
an on the air heart attack one time I was listening to him.
I predict all RHC announcers will be in a state of euphoria.
So what do other people predict will happen on SW with an Obama win?
Pirate activity should pick up. With the coming of the "fairness doctrine"
and all.

Pure paranoia.

It's amazing how nutty ideas like "Obama's going to shut down free
speech" or "He's a Marxist" come from.
Certainly not from any rational place or objective observation, or
any .... what do you call them? oh yeah, FACTS.

It's just a lot of fear and smear. The American people didn't buy
it. And neither should you.
Wait and see. He might be more like Bill Clinton, who left office
with a nearly 70% job approval rating, and
not an awful president like Bush, who is leaving in the 20's.

Even in the unlikely event that a new Fairness Doctrine would mandate
anything more than a standing offer of airtime for opposing viewpoints,
it would only apply to over-the-air broadcasts on the public airwaves;
cable TV and the internets would be unaffected. Nobody listens to the
radio anymore anyway.
