Yeah, Americans losing their free speech rights would be hilarious.

I think we should start with you.
Anybody was able to say anything they wanted before and after the

Baloney, people reading this news group were not born yesterday. I
remember the way things were before and after the "unfairness doctrine"

snip unrelated biased opinion

O yea?!

early in mass coommmunications, Talkshows and call-ins were rare but
viewpoint programs were not. In radio and TV, there were people with
timers to make sure different viewpoints were equally represented, at
least by equality in time.


No there weren't. It was never enforced that rigidly. At best, persons
with opposing viewpoints were given an open invitation to come in with
their views, which rarely happened, and even when it did, it just
provided an amusing program. Think Floyd Turbo on the old Tonight Show.
