Question

Do these two have a lot in common or what?

Answer 1

Yes, she was heard to say she's looking for a "legislative fix". Meanwhile, she continues to break laws and lie.

Colette Wilson of the U.S. Justice Foundation filed an appellate brief today, in the civil lawsuit alleging Clinton's violation of a federal code that carries a possible five-year prison sentence. Wilson argues in the brief filed with the California Court of Appeal that Sen. Clinton's actions violated not only the $2,000 limit but Title 2 section 437 of the U.S. federal code, which states: "Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation of any provision of this act which involves the making, receiving, or reporting of any contribution, donation, or expenditure aggregating $25,000 or more during a calendar year shall be fined under Title 18, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both."

We need to shut Hillary up for about five years.

Answer 2

The Fairness Doctrine was in effect from 1949 to 1986 and stopped during the Reagan administration because it was a hardship for the stations to find a rebuttal for every piece of controversial information they aired.

During those years, the news was the news and was far more balanced and accurate. Both sides of an issue had to be told. In other words, the media couldn't say Bush started the war based upon lies without saying that there was intelligence showing it to be true. Today the news is based on cherry picking the facts to get an emotional response to sway public opinion and raise ratings instead of actually informing the public. Why would anybody be against fairness and accuracy in the media?

This doctrine will not close down the media but only cause it to be more honest and informative. Half truths and lies are causing people to become ignorant and biased.

Answer 3

RCTV wasn't just "disagreeing" with Hugo Chávez. It was destabilizing the government, and refusing to renew its broadcasting license was a legal move that should have been made five years ago, when RCTV participated in the coup. Most of the business dominated media opposes the Chavez government and remains in operation today.

Americans just don't understand the Venezuelan situation at all. Let's not call it a dictatorship until they stop holding elections, or until the EU election monitors and the Carter Foundation stop endorsing their elections.

Answer 5

Those that control the dissemination and content of information to the people ultimately will control the people.

Hillery Clinton knows this, as does Hugo Chavez. Two peas from the same pod?

Answer 7

Hitler invaded sovereign nations without provocation -- Bush did the same thing in Iraq, and now he's trying to do it in Iran --- do these 2 have a lot in common or what! =D

Answer 8

Did you ever listen to RCTV, they said things like "KILL CHAVEZ!", I bet you'd support the shutdown of a network that threatened Bush, right?

Answer 9

So you agree that dissent isn't unpatriotic. What a refreshing change of heart from a conservative!

Answer 10

No dear, she was talking about having equal representative voices. By no means is that shutting down voices. Beyond that we have satellite radio that is not govt controlled so their is no way to shut down said voices. You might want to actually listen to the news.
