I can not PROOVE that FCC crimes are happening. Just as with ANY crime
(abduction, embezzlement, etc.) the overwhelming APPEARANCE of a crime
is enough to initiate an INVESTIGATION by the proper agency. If the
books show money missing from a business or government account- an
investigation is started. If a talk show host continually lies about
consumer products and at the same time- reaps in ad contracts for
those products or a subsidiary product- an investigation should be
made (interviewing insiders for instance) as to the INTENT of the
DECEPTIONS.

OK. Listen to those "lies" and tell me which advertiser is running a
schedule that might have resulted from the inaccurate opinions. Most
major advertisers shy away from controversial talk. That's why you'll
hear the Conservative Digest, Hooked on Phonics, Oreck Vacuum Cleaners
and similar accounts. They're heavy network advertisers. I can't
remember the last time I heard an oil company spot in a radio talk
show.

There aren't even pharmacutical companies advertising the drugs
Limbaugh uses. Not only is he defending their use, he's contributing
significantly to their bottom line. Still, no ad budget for his show.
That sounds pretty unappreciative on the part of the companies.

How sweet you are to the broadcast liars! Knowingly lying and
refusing to correct mis-information- is now called "in-accurate
opinions". In fact- ANYONE who has a history of lying about the facts-
has simply just been giving his or her SINCERE IN-ACCURATE PERSONAL
OPINION! ( I guess Clinton gave his sincere personal opinion when he
said "I didn't have sex with that woman!"

I think my previous quote from the FCC ought to end this whole
"discussion".

"Knowingly falsifying the news or knowingly spreading falsehoods on
the air IS A VIOLATION OF THE PUBLIC TRUST" The FCC will not take any
action UNLESS it receives evidence of intent to fabricate from
extrinsic sources (insiders with personal knowledge of such intent to
deceive).

So get it straight! The FCC CAN take action against liars on the
radio.
