| Issue: Freedom to Listen |
Summary
It is not possible to have freedom of speech if the right of people to listen to that speech is abridged. But, today a right most take for granted - the freedom to listen to the radio broadcaster of their choice - is in jeopardy. Liberals in all branches of government favor more "fairness" in broadcast media, particularly AM radio and they are threatening to rein it in. A frontal attack à la the old "Fairness Doctrine" is unlikely. Instead there will be efforts to use the power of agencies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to regulate conservative talk radio out of business under the guise of "localism", "viewpoint discrimination" and "media ownership diversity." The ACRU urges every lawmaker — city council members, state legislators and members of Congress to take the Freedom to Listen Pledge. And we invite every talk radio host to join our effort to Save Radio Free America.
