Political talk radio

A conservative author and columnist predicts that if Barack Obama is elected president, the Democratic-led Congress will mount a legislative effort next year to wipe out political talk radio in its current form. He calls it a "lurking threat to the freedom of the airwaves."

Barack Obama's campaign has said the Democratic presidential nominee is not seeking to reinstate the "Fairness Doctrine," but top Democratic leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator John Kerry, and Al Gore have expressed support for mandating equal air time for all political views.
