‘A little state control wouldn’t hurt anybody’
2/14/2009
“A little state control wouldn’t hurt anybody,” declared Jerry Brown, California’s Democrat attorney general, in on air comments yesterday about the possible reinstatement of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
“You have a point of view and I have a point of view and they are different. I think the clash can sometimes illuminate the two better than just a one sided presentation,” stated Brown, during an exclusive interview with Michael Savage broadcast on the top talker’s national radio show.
Savage countered by positing any revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” is aimed at muting conservative talk radio. Brown replying by stating Savage’s suggestion had the “tinge of paranoia.”
It “would not apply to any other element of the media. It’s aimed strictly at us in the minority in the media,” Savage shot back. “And they want us controlled and constrained and removed from the airwaves. They only want to hear progressive voices that laud Obama and laud the liberal way.”
