Wow, look at all the Lefties commenting on this subject. There’s a clue for y’all.
It really comes down to two things: Who gets to make the determination; vulnerability.
Even granting the absurdity that a balanced viewpoint must be presented time to time, who gets to make the determination as to whether something was balanced or not? Some Leftist ideologue who perceives a Centrist to be a right-wing whackjob? Isn’t this just censorship, in the end? Acting in the “public welfare” is just typical fascist justification.
The real danger is not that the government will shut you down. They won’t have to. Their proxies will do it for you… via the courts. They’ll sue, claiming you aren’t being balanced. Whether you are or not, you lose, because you can’t afford to stay in business when all your profit is going to pay lawyers. THAT is how they will suppress conservative talk radio.
