RUSH: Snerdley said to me, ‘These people, this audience, they\u2019re going to need you more than ever if McCain loses.\u2019 I said, ‘Don\u2019t worry,\u2019 because, folks, let me tell you what\u2019s happening, whether McCain wins or loses, we are going to rebuild the conservative movement. <\/p>\n

We would not be in this predicament were it not for the fact that a bunch of wayward conservatives lost their way and a bunch of Republicans who got focused on the wrong way to win elections. If McCain wins or loses, it\u2019s rebuild the conservative movement. That\u2019s the focus, and that\u2019s going to be an upbeat, positive thing. It\u2019s going to be an interactive thing. It\u2019s what happened in 1994. You know, Clinton wins \u201993, we rebuilt the conservative movement, won the House two years later, first time in 40 years. Don\u2019t panic. Let me show you what the Democrats are planning. This actually gives voice to it. Jeff Bingaman yesterday in Albuquerque on our affiliate, the EIB affiliate KKOB, this is during the Jim Villanucci show. Villanucci talking to Senator Bingaman. Villanucci says, ‘Talk radio listeners are concerned about the Fairness Doctrine. Do you think there will be a push to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine?\u2019<\/p>\n

BINGAMAN: I don\u2019t know. I certainly hope so. I would want this station and all stations to have to present a balanced perspective and different points of view, instead of always hammering away at one side.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Mike — talking here to the broadcast engineer — start-stop in this next bite, so be standing by. Jim Villanucci then says, ‘Well, in this market, Senator Bingaman, for example, you\u2019ve got KKOB, got us, if you want liberal talk you\u2019ve got Air America down the street, you\u2019ve got National Public Radio. If you have satellite radio, there\u2019s a lefty talk station there and there\u2019s a righty talk station. I mean, do you think that there are people who aren\u2019t able to find a viewpoint that\u2019s in sync with what they believe?\u2019<\/p>\n

BINGAMAN: My thought is that radio and media generally should have a higher calling than just reflect a particular point of view. I think they should use their authority to try to — and their broadcast power to present an informed discussion of public issues. You know, KKOB used to live under the Fairness Doctrine. Every broadcast outlet —<\/p>\n

VILLANUCCI: Yeah, we played music, I believe.<\/p>\n

BINGAMAN: Well, but there was a lot of talk also, at least it seemed to me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Before the Fairness Doctrine was lifted by Ronaldus Magnus in the late eighties, I think it was 1987, you know how many radio stations were doing talk, Senator Bingaman? One hundred and twenty-five. And you know what was on those stations? I mean sometimes from midnight to six you\u2019d get the wild wackos, the provocational political people, but most of the time it was the correct carrot cake recipe for the holidays, where the next traffic problem was going to be in town. Then you\u2019d have a little segment where if your dog was lost you could call the station, and do lost animal reports. All of this wonderful stuff that nobody wanted to listen to, Senator. One hundred twenty-five talk stations. Senator Bingaman, do you know how many talk radio stations there are in America today? Try over 2,000 since the Fairness Doctrine was lifted, and on those 2,000 radio stations are countless points of view, from the extreme communist left to the wacko whatever it is way out on the fringe right. They\u2019re all over the place. <\/p>\n

What Bingaman is saying here is, (paraphrasing) ‘Well, it\u2019s not that. We want every station to be balanced.\u2019 What he wants is for this kind of programming to be stopped. Because of the way the Fairness Doctrine worked and will work, especially the way it will work if it\u2019s ever reinstituted, reimplemented, within five minutes of my show open, 15 or more extremist groups in every city carrying this program will call the station carrying this show, demanding a response to the outrageous thing that I have just said. And then, after the next ten minutes, they would call again. After an hour, the management of the local station would probably have received over 150 phone calls demanding a chance and an opportunity to reply. <\/p>\n

At which point the manager says, ‘I can\u2019t keep up with this. In order to maintain my license, I\u2019m going to have to do all this and grant all these people all this access. I gotta put amateurs on the radio? I gotta put talentness, complaining whiners on the radio? I\u2019m not going to mess with it.\u2019 And that\u2019s how it works. It\u2019s not that the Fairness Doctrine is passed and all of us go away. It\u2019s that local stations will not put up with the grief they\u2019re going to get. And that\u2019s what Senator Bingaman and that\u2019s what the Democrats want. They don\u2019t want balanced programming on a radio station. They want no conservative programming on a radio station. He sounds all concerned and educated here, but make no mistake. Here\u2019s the rest of his bite.<\/p>\n

BINGAMAN: And there were a lot of talk stations that seemed to do fine. For many, many years, we operated under a Fairness Doctrine in this country. I think the country was well served.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. A hundred twenty-five radio stations talking about carrot cake recipes for the holidays. Hell, I\u2019ll tell you a little story. I got to Sacramento in 1984, my first real big break to do a talk show, and the Fairness Doctrine was in force. I got to town, it\u2019s October of \u201984. We\u2019re a month, maybe three weeks from the election, the Mondull and Reagan reelection. So I get into town early, I\u2019m driving around, I\u2019m listening to the other talk station, there\u2019s another talk station, I\u2019m listening to the market, and nobody was talking about the election. Nobody was talking about it. Now, the morning news guys, ‘The latest news of the election is, latest poll shows Ronald Reagan down 50 points with Walter Mondale three weeks –‘ all that kind of garbage was going on, but nobody was talking about the election, honest to God, folks, it was carrot cake recipes, it was the latest fashion show going on at Neiman Marcus or what have you. And I said, ‘This is going to be a gold mine! Nobody\u2019s talking about it!\u2019 <\/p>\n

So I got out there and started talking about this stuff. In fact, Morton Downey, Jr., got fired, that\u2019s how I got the job, he got fired for a political comment. He told a bad joke, he used a slur word about Chinese people, refused to apologize, bam, he\u2019s gone. Then he went on to New York to do that ill-fated big-mouth TV show. And to this day still don\u2019t know whose mouth is bigger when it\u2019s open, Morton Downey, Jr.\u2019s or Susan Estrich\u2019s. I\u2019m just talking about size, not what comes out of it. But I remember, I said something one day about some issue, and some local community black leader called, demanded to come in and respond to what I had said. Management bent over, grabbed the ankles, ‘Oh, sure, come on in,\u2019 called me and said we gotta have this guy in here, so he came in, and I had to give up an hour of my show to this guy. I did my best to make it entertaining, but I mean I had to let him speak in order to let him have his access to Fairness Doctrine. It was the most boring damn hour of radio I\u2019ve ever done, and that\u2019s how this stuff works. So Bingaman doesn\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s talking about in terms — 125 radio — well, maybe he does know exactly what he\u2019s talking about when you get down to it, because he wants all of this kind of conservative talk, because it\u2019s effective, shut down. He says, ‘I think the country was well served.\u2019 And then here\u2019s how he ended it.<\/p>\n

BINGAMAN: I think the public discussion was at a higher level and more intelligent in those days than it has become since.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Man, would I have loved to ask him for examples of that. By the way, even with the Fairness Doctrine, NPR is going to be there all day, all the time, and all liberal. Conservatives aren\u2019t going to complain to the Air America station because conservatives are smart enough to know that even if they get on the air there, nobody will hear what they say!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
