You know, we&#8217;re not going to take any of the conservative voices off the airwaves, but just make sure that there are a few progressives and liberals out there, right?<\/p>\n<p>SENATOR TOM HARKIN (D-IA): Exactly, and that&#8217;s why we need the fair &#8212; that&#8217;s why we need the Fairness Doctrine back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess Harkin is tired of having his constituents reminded that he&#8217;s a phony Vietnam-era combat pilot every time he speaks. More liberal radio personalities means less times they&#8217;ll hear that he&#8217;s been stealing other REAL combat pilots&#8217; valor for more than thirty years.<\/p>\n<p>What? You haven&#8217;t heard that Tom Harkin is a phony Vietnam-era combat pilot? Well, here&#8217;s the story at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pajamasmedia.com\/instapundit-archive\/archives\/017246.php\">Instapundit<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2007\/10\/01\/fake-war-hero-tom-harkin-smears-rush\/\">Michelle Malkin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/minx.cc\/?post=242362\">Ace<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Bill Press is upset because he was on our local 620 AM WRAL a few years back, but he lost his job to Fred (Love Boat&#8217;s Gopher) Grandy when listeners got tired of his BDS. Then he headlined the Obama 1260 radio station <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/02\/06\/AR2009020602511.html\">which went off the air a few days back<\/a>. So I guess he figures that the Fairness Doctrine is the bailout his career needs. <\/p>\n<p>With phony Vietnam-era combat pilots like Tom Harkin on his side, Press should be able to be a phony radio star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Politico, Michael Calderone writes that Tom Harkin, phony Vietnam-era combat pilot, wants to reinstate the &hellip; <a title=\"Phony combat pilot wants &#8220;Fairness Doctrine&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7783\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Phony combat pilot wants &#8220;Fairness Doctrine&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberals-suck","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7783\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
