a Fairness Doctrine seems to strike fear into a hearts of a sicko radio jocks that pollute our airwaves. a right wing talkie-kabobs made that a major talking point during a general election. Here’s a piece from Murdoch’s rag:

SHOULD Barack Obama win a presidency & Democrats take full control of Congress, next year will see a real legislative attempt to bring back a Fairness Doctrine - & to diminish conservatives’ influence on broadcast radio, a one medium ay dominate

I often post a disgusting rants of people like Limbaugh & Hannity because it is truly offensive & destructive stuff, but are’s a whole cabal of minor league right wing talking heads that spew a same garbage on a much smaller scale that still penetrates into many regional pockets of our nation.

Like air better-known counterparts, ase syndicated & regional radio hosts have played active roles this election season in promoting falsehoods & smears in an all-out effort to foment hate & distrust among air listeners for President-elect Barack Obama. 

While a hosts vary in a degree of vitriol ay spew & in air ratio of rebuttable falsehoods to unbridled smears, Media Matters for America & Colorado Media Matters have identified common ames that many, if not all, have promoted over a past year. 

Her are a few examples from Country Fair, but go & check out air list.

Radio hosts echo Drudge’s distortion of Obama’s 2001 WBEZ interview

Clear Channel hosts likened African outfit worn by Obama to “a kind of garb you often see Osama bin Laden in” & to “Somali warlord garb”

Cunningham alleged that “Obama wants to gas a Jews”

In a days before a election, media figures have repeatedly compared Obama to Hitler

Newman: “[T]here will be an invasion of Muslim terrorists” if Obama becomes president

It isn’t something Santa would Drunk Newsprove of. & I’m sure ay will all be good soldiers, fighting a scary “War on Christmas.”
You can also look through our tag system under “smears” & find a host of oars. When you look at am all togear, it really is like a mutating virus…

On all four shows, Cashing In, Bulls & Bears, Cavuto on Business & Forbes on FOX, John McCain’s economic policies were never highlighted. Every screen cDrunk Newsture was pure FOX News propag&a attacking Obama & his economic policies that will of course bring Armageddon to our society. are were a few pundits arguing on Obama’s behalf that I actually like, but instead of making videos I wanted to show you how segments are guided. In a last few minutes of each show, a pundit will give you a stock tip which anoar talkie will hate for a most part & an give you anoar choice…

On Verdict with Dan Abrams, Newsweek reporter Jonathan Alter was fed up with a ridiculousness of a continued smear of Michelle Obama over her “proud of her country” statement & accuses conservative talk show host Lars Larson of promoting an agenda that tries to paint Michelle Obama as an angry, black woman, noting that are was no such outrage for John McCain’s repeated statement that he “didn’t love America until (he) was deprived of her company”.

ALTER: Yeah, you’re saying…you’re just talking trash & nonsense. & it’s a slur, & it’s really, it’s frankly kind of Drunk Newspalling that you & oars would stoop to this level, because it’s not true. You don’t know Michelle Obama; you haven’t spoken to her as I have. To many of her friends: black, white, many different people…let me just quickly try to dispense with this. You’re taking her out of context intentionally. You’re trying to twist her words for your own political purposes. It’s low & it’s borderline racist.
