Fairness Doctrine. Let's look at the possiblities. Fiction only senerios

[truthsayer]

The Congress has mentioned they may bring back the Fairness Doctrine to radio broadcasters. Talk radio would re-invent the format. Oh My! Let's begin shall we?

No more Rush Limbaugh instead The Roseanne Cactus-Gerainium Plant Show. Talking about the RIGHT way to grow plants.

Sean Hannity will move over for Dr Bubba The Marrige Guru. He will talk for three hours promoting his show on Fox.

Michael Savage will remain his theme will change. Border foods,Cultery&Fine Wines.

There is room in this blog for a little Fiction isn't there? I write this with all respect to the real host! Humor!

The Nancy Pelosi Show, with Diane Feinstein and special guest, Rosie O'Donnell! Special musical guest, Rosanne Barr!

If you really want to drive the final nails into the coffin of radio, bring back the 'fairness' doctrine, comrades.

Sean Hannity radio show gets a liberal co-host and the program is retitled "Hannity and Franken".

Ann Coulter shares the mike with Rosie O'Donnell. Program is delayed 30 seconds and extra staff hired to insert bleeps.

And Rush Limbaugh partners with.... No, wait. After Limbaugh's ego there isn't room in the studio for anyone else.

;D

Rush Limbaugh partners with.... a book satchel full of pills!
Everyone else recites Animal Farm in their very best voices or publicaly berates our incoming democratically elected Commander in Chief.

No weird scenerio here...except for reality.

In college when I worked for KTTS in Springfield the GM would do a 2 minute editorial every week or so. Then we'd have to allow someone in the community to rebutt. Someone usually wanted to - some of those people were scary...very scary.

I'd prefer to leave the scary people in the corner offices and not answering editorial comments.

Then again, it did make for good radio! Ha!

I think Mr. Obama will have so much on his plate just to keep this country going, that the fairness doctrine may not make it. The PRIORITY will be to save us all from our leaders first.

I think of a call-in Q&A show that would have responses spat out of a computer. The only catch is that all answers would be random Alan Watts quotations. This would require no voice tracking or salary of any sort.

Asian newspaper censorship citation hour with Tom and Charlie would be neat.

LTT having meaningful dialog with a group of highly emotionally disturbed (and unwashed) homeless about the moral and ethical delimma of stolen grocery carts live and in studio.

The entire short list of CCC's Houston Cluster employees working up the screenplay for their new musical titled "Hey, Less is actually less!"

How about a full midnight to six with Baroque (on actual period instruments) music barely overlain with the voices of various info-tainment personalities droning on for hours about something they know nothing about?

Sam Malone and Maria Todd back together again to cover the live cage match for survival between a random Houston cluster and that of Farmington, New Mexico!

Hannity and the the "Alan Watts" computer host a marathon with the topic for 2009 being the difference between business and personal integrity.

Too bad most of these ideas would actually get ratings and fit the facade of the Fairness Doctrine at the same time.

All Major League Baseball Teams would have 81-81 season records, be co-champions of their respective divisions, and would all be given World Champions of Baseball trophies. For an additional $5, each champion would receive a Championship patch to wear the following season. This could be called the All-Inclusive Baseball League, "Where Everybody's a Winner!"

The BCS Bowls will be discontinued in favor of the "All Inclusive Collegiate Football Championship Series", where every football team in the entire United States would compete to share the title of National Champion. The winner would be crowned, not by winning a football game, but by answering a series of hard-hitting questions about making our planet greener, our people more diverse and inclusive, and specific ways to encourage the terrorists of the world to 'make love, not war'. The weekly top 25 would feature all teams entered in the contest (major, small, and junior colleges) tied at #1. That would make them feel so good about themselves! Perhaps they could make a promotional CD of songs featuring the players singing about World Peace.
