Default Amateur Radio Regulations Question

Where's ARRL in all this?

...

Is it legal for ham radio operators to rebroadcast radio programs on the
amateur radio bands?

I know there is a prohibition against "broadcasting" but I suppose there is
a gray area that allows license holders to get away with replaying whatever
propaganda they want to air.

The lame Liberty Net has a hick from Georgia that broadcasts long spiels
from wing nut preachers et.al. Besides being dreadfully boring I always
wonder if that is legal. Is it?

The Liberty Net also blatantly violates the laws against using profanity on
the air waves. Vic, the net moderator being one of the most frequent
culprits.

Sad state of affairs in the world of amateur radio today. I remember when
one could tune in and listen to intelligent and high quality nets on the
bands.
