The 'Fairness Doctrine', though defeated has shown that the silent majority has the means to shape up our lawmakers. It's just too bad that it took all those 'nasty right wing conspiracy talk show hosts' to get the majority to speak up. I can't help but wonder if any media, like the NYT for instance, would have offered up half of their front page and half of their op-ed page(s) to more conservative thinkers?
My particular point, on this first entry on my new Townhall blog is this. The talk show hosts mentioned above are doing a great service for the silent majority, what I want to see is a 'loud right thinking majority' that won't wait around to get goaded into voicing their opinion over similar items that could have a negative impact on our rights to free speech.
