Horace Cooper: Freedom to Speak

By |2020-04-23T21:53:04-04:00December 5th, 2008|

It should be a well settled idea that in a democracy, freedom of speech and debate are crucial bulwarks of liberty. Unfortunately, that is not a notion widely held today by the self-appointed political censors of the 21st century; especially those who deplore the rightward tilt of talk radio. These critics of talk radio disregard the overwhelming left-wing viewpoint dominance in newspapers and television and zealously seek to impose speech limits until that same dominance is brought to bear on talk radio. It is laughable that talk radio's political speech should require government control and it is tragic that if the critics succeed they will threaten one of the most precious freedoms that our nation was founded upon and that the Constitution protects -- freedom of expression.

Lee Ellis on "The Unfair Fairness Doctrine"

By |2008-11-10T13:32:40-05:00November 10th, 2008|

Lee Ellis, a former Vice President at CBS and Gannett wrote on FamilySecurityMatters.org on November 10, 2008 about the problems with resurrecting the Fairness Doctrine.

Said Ellis:

Radio had almost died, but then discovered format radio that appealed to what was called niche or specialty groups. It started with Top Forty popular record hits that became highly successful. This was followed by 24-hour news radio stations as was pioneered by two LA radio companies KNX and KFWB.

Finally, talk radio was started with people like the late Joe Pyne. His daily taped, syndicated radio program was heard in 254 markets and Pyne […]

By |2008-11-01T09:58:53-04:00November 1st, 2008|

Barack Obama's shocking statements from 2001 about the U.S. Supreme Court offer a deeply disturbing insight into what he hopes to achieve through remaking our highest court. Taken with what is currently at stake in the Court, it paints a picture that should cost him millions of votes on Election Day.

Peter Ferrara: Voter Fraud

By |2008-10-22T09:55:06-04:00October 22nd, 2008|

This op-ed originally appeared in The American Spectator on October 22, 2008.

In 1980, fresh out of school and working on Wall Street, I also worked for the Reagan campaign. I had the job every night at around 11 p.m. of going to Times Square and getting one of the first copies of the next day’s New York Times. I would take it to the Reagan New York City headquarters in midtown Manhattan, where a phone number would be left for me as to where the traveling Reagan campaign party was staying that night. My job was to cut out the articles in the Times covering […]

Ken Blackwell: Voter Fraud, An Assault on Fairness

By |2008-10-21T09:51:32-04:00October 21st, 2008|

This op-ed originally appeared in the Washington Times on October 21, 2008.

While we hear a lot about “partisan politics” in the media, most Americans do not define themselves, first and foremost, by their political party. Many people’s beliefs do not fit neatly into the label of “Republican” or “Democrat.”

The cultural identity of many Americans supersedes their views about the role of government or the proper way to increase health-care coverage. Part of that identity is the belief in the value of a fair fight and in the fundamental right of the American president to be elected by a transparent and accurate vote.
