Rightwing Freakish Homophobes On Cable News Shows Go Unchallenged
They almost never have gay people on to confront monsters like Falwell or Bill Bennett or Hannity.
Would they have an anti semite on without a jew to argue back?
Would they have a racist on without a black person to confront them?
There should be an FCC rule that every time Falwell or his ilk start lying about gay people, the channel has to give a gay person equal time to tell the truth.
So what we're left with is a cable channel that is a virtual arm of the RNC, spouting far rightwing propoganda 24/7, talk radio that is another virtual arm of the RNC and then the "mainstream media" that is so terrified of being accused of "liberal bias" that they also might as well be rightwing tools.
The problem is the media and that the republicans have everyone cowering with fear. We need an unabashedly left leaning news network. Now.
7. If The FCC Were To Enact A Fairness Rule As You Described...
many would consider it to be anti-Christian. They'd be accused by many Christian zealots of oppressing Christianity and trying to silence them or intimidate them.
11. There is never an actual liberal on these shows, that is what kills us
Most of these shows, no matter the subject mattter, have a right wing host, an even more extreme right wing guest, and a moderate to "represent" the left.
