Brace yourselves, conservatives: While President Barack Obama used his appearances on the Sunday talk shows to push for government-run health care, he also fired what could be considered an Oval Office “missile” aimed squarely at conservative talk radio. During a poignant segment of his interview the president that was broadcast on FACE the NATION this [...]

Newsweek Should Focus Upon Decline in Objective Journalism Rather Than the Decline of Christianity (Updated)
April 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment
The cover of the April 13 issue of Newsweek uses seven words — THE DECLINE AND FALL OF CHRISTIAN AMERICA — laid out in the shape of a cross to create a sense of drama aimed at enticing readers. Unfortunately, the 4,200-word article says more about the decline of objective journalism than it does about [...]

Ed Schultz Helps Rush Limbaugh Make Argument Against ‘Fairness Doctrine’ Censorship
February 25th, 2009 · 4 Comments
Legendary conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh received help in his campaign against the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” from an unexpected source, liberal talk radio show host Ed Schultz. Ironically, Schultz most assuredly did not intend to help “El Rushbo” make his argument against the censorship of conservatives on the public airwaves. During his broadcast [...]

European Union ‘Rocketing to Hell’
January 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment
After reading a ChicagoBoyz post published yesterday about European Union efforts to establish a “European Criminal Records Information System,” I came to appreciate the headline under which that post appeared: Rocketing to Hell. While there’s nothing wrong with the EU setting up a system via which member countries can share information concerning criminal convictions, a [...]

Will Reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine Result in Jail Sentences for Writers in the United States?
January 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments
I read an article in The Independent today about Australian writer Harry Nicolaides being sentenced to three years in prison for defaming the king of Thailand in a 2005 novel he wrote that sold only seven copies. After reading it, I couldn’t help but wonder whether writers in this country might soon face similar sentences [...]

Kenya Serving as Fairness Doctrine Test Market
December 12th, 2008 · No Comments
Congressional Democrats are not expected to begin their push for reinstatement of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” until next year. Until then, however, I expect they’ll be paying close attention to news reports from Barack Obama’s family stomping grounds in Kenya. Why? Because the East African nation appears to be functioning as a test market for [...]
