RealClearPolitics - Video - Sen. Rockefeller: FCC Should Take FOX News, MSNBC Off Airwaves
This man has no respect for the 1st Amendment. He's tired of the right and the left; and I'm tired of rich Rockefeller's in the government.
Because public funding of a selected network is a violation of the 1st amendment.Then why are the Republican's trying to defund the NPR?

Or does the 1st amendment only apply to the left, but not the right?

All taxpayers pay for NPR but they only hire/cater to one side, The left.
If money = speech, as the supreme court has suggested, than funding cannot reduce speech as it creates it. Therefore it cannot be anti first amendment.
What's your take on what Rockefeller said?
If you took the effort to follow the chain of quotes back up, you would note that the originator of this discussion was with Pete EU, not with the OP, as Pete's post pretty much has nothing to do with American's. Please try harder.
Read the subject line. You got on me other thread for same thing you are doing here.
That's not what was argued but okIf money = speech, as the supreme court has suggested, than funding cannot reduce speech as it creates it. Therefore it cannot be anti first amendment.
If money can drown out speech (and this is the view I have), well, than we have a whole new case to argue to the SCOTUS!

Because it doesn't need the money. How much funding does Fox get from the govt?

we are talking about public funding, not private. Some of us don't agree with NPR, yet, we are forced to give our money as taxpayers to them.
Whereas with the supreme court case, it was argued for private businesses that may or may not recieve government funding to begin with. If we don't like a business giving money to political candidate, we can just find another business. we can't do that with NPR.
