"So to argue that what I'm putting in here is a dramatic change of the law, is going to somehow muzzle Rush Limbaugh, it's not the case. What we're suggesting is that it is best that we follow the guidelines already in the law to promote and encourage diversity in media ownership."
-- Illinois Senator Dick Durbin

This is not an effort to muzzle Rush Limbaugh? Gimme a break!

The war on (conservative) talk radio has just begun. The Fairness Doctrine was voted down in the Senate; that would have required some "talk police" to balance every conservative and liberal statement 50-50. However, Senator Dick Durbin's "diversity" proposal passed. In practice, it will be even more destructive of conservative talk radio--Durbin's one true aim.
