RADIO TIDBITS

Sludge helped spread the alarm about the possible return of the Fairness Doctrine, so by now I think all the Talk Radio Republicans have helped whip up their base listeners. Sludge seems to think that Fats Limbaugh is the primary, perhaps sole, target of this movement to restore some balance to talk radio. Later in the show, Sludge did admit that perhaps there were 2 or 3 others who may also be targets.

I think the recent reports about the power of talk radio in the immigration debate may be a good thing for those of us who want to restore some balance because there are many people who don't realize how often these gasbags lie on the air and I think they will be appalled at some the more extreme statements.
