Fred : "The Era of Controllable Media is Over"

Posted at The Fred Thompson Report:

I’ll tell you something that those who want to control the media apparently don’t know. Everyday, more people are listening to streaming radio on the Web and downloading podcasts. Some popular talk shows skip radio altogether and go straight to the Internet. You can even hear talk shows on Web-enabled telephones if you want, and that will get much easier and cheaper quickly.

If the current stars of talk were pushed off the radio dial, they’d get their audiences anyway. The era of controllable media is over, and nothing will ever bring it back.

1 Then, a congressman, who is also an ex-radio talk show host, managed to
get a “yes” vote on language in a House bill that could permanently
stop
those who want to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine.


How is this "permanent?"  What's to keep the Leftards from reviving this the way they tried with the immigration bill.  Nothing is permanent in politics.

2 Thank God there's soon to be no controlled media any more. But I wonder if Clear Channel, Cumulus, NewsCorp and any other media conglomerate that owns hundreds of media outlets at a time and keeps buying 'em up knows this yet?

3 B,

Well why don't you go tell them, I'm sure that fucking communist liberal bastards that they are they must be very close friends of yours.

4 Yeah, Dorian, Rupert Murdoch is a real leftist. Why don't you just keep playing bad music and leave political discussions to grown ups.
