RUSH: It\u2019s Thursday night on the RT Network. That\u2019s a Russian television network. It\u2019s an international TV network funded by the Soviets, the Russians, and they had an interview with Larry King. And he\u2019s speaking with somebody in Chattanooga about… Let\u2019s see… Oh, it\u2019s Larry King\u2019s show! I take it back. Larry King has a show on the Russian TV network. That\u2019s what it is. Larry King is talking to a radio host from Chattanooga about conservative claims of bias at Facebook and Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>By the way, speaking of which, have you heard the latest outrage about Google? Google, in order to do business in China, had to accede to ChiCom demands — and they did. And one of the things Google did is they built a prototype of the search engine, the Google search engine that will be used in China. They built a prototype for the ChiCom government that links every user\u2019s searches to their personal phone number so the ChiCom government will be able to know who everybody in China is by virtue of their phone number and what they are searching.<\/p>\n

Google, in order to do business in China, had to agree to this. The ChiCom government can now monitor people\u2019s search querys and will have their phone number as a means of either reaching or intimidating or just identifying them — and Google didn\u2019t think twice. “Okay, fine. Is that what you want? We\u2019ll do it.” Now, if they\u2019re willing to stand up in partnership with a pure totalitarian, communist regime like the ChiComs, why wouldn\u2019t they if one were elected here?<\/p>\n

If a Democrat someday is elected and wants this exact kind of data from everybody using Google search, you think Google would do it for a fellow Democrat president? They\u2019re showing they\u2019ll do it for the ChiComs, and they\u2019ll do it \u2019cause that\u2019s what they have to do to be in business in China. So, anyway, there\u2019s legitimate outrage amongst conservatives at the bias. Did you hear Jack Dorsey? Did you hear Jack Dorsey, the founder, the CEO of Twitter, did you hear what he said about Twitter last week? He said that conservatives employed at Twitter literally feel unsafe to express their views at work for fear of what will be done to them by liberal employees.<\/p>\n

The Twitter CEO admitted this! He was on the Recode Decode blog, which is part of the Vox empire. It used to be part of the Wall Street Journal. He admitted it! Conservative employees at Twitter do not feel safe expressing their political opinions at work. So, anyway, Larry King with his show on the Russian television network is asking a Chattanooga radio host about conservative claims of bias at Facebook and Google. Larry King said, “Now, reportedly Attorney General Sessions is exploring a potential investigation of social media companies because of bias against conservatives. What do you make about that?”<\/p>\n

BRIAN JOYCE: Up until the late 1980s, we had a law on the books in the United States called the Fairness Doctrine. And by law, that required radio stations, TV stations to be fair and balanced. Well, it was Republicans — not Democrats, Republicans — did away with that law. So I find it ironic that 30 years later they\u2019re complaining about bias and Facebook and bias with Google. Look. If we want to solve that problem, bring back the Fairness Doctrine, apply it to all media, including social media. But short of that, suck it up! I mean, you reap what you sow. If Facebook and Google are biased against Republicans, well, guess what? Fox News is biased against Democrats. Rush Limbaugh is biased against Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckles) Okay. The Fairness Doctrine. It is clear that many people talk about it don\u2019t really know what it was or what it. By the way, here\u2019s Larry\u2019s reaction to that. It\u2019s only eight seconds, but we\u2019ll get it in.<\/p>\n

\"\"KING: I know. I lived with the Fairness Doctrine for a lot of years, and I\u2019ll tell you it worked. We gave equal… What was wrong with giving equal time?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, Larry, the Fairness Doctrine wasn\u2019t about equal time. You did an interview show, you needed guests to get your show done, you had guests from all over the place. The Fairness Doctrine was never gonna apply to you anyway. The Fairness Doctrine had nothing to do with equal time. (sigh) I get so fed up explaining this — and the reason because everybody says if it weren\u2019t for Reagan lifting the Fairness Doctrine, this show would have never happened. It\u2019s bohunk.<\/p>\n

The Fairness Doctrine was in place when this show actually started in Sacramento on KFBK, and it was the same show then as it now. There is no “bias” here. Bias is when you hide what you\u2019re trying to persuade. We don\u2019t make any pretenses here about the fact that I\u2019m conservative and believe in that. I don\u2019t try to hide the fact that I think liberalism sucks and is dangerous and destructive. There\u2019s no bias. There\u2019s no attempt to fool anybody here.<\/p>\n

This program is the epitome of up-front honesty. There\u2019s no deceit! There\u2019s no lying! There\u2019s no misdirection! There\u2019s none of this that is commonplace everywhere else in the Drive-By Media. The Fairness Doctrine didn\u2019t say that if I have a 30 minute monologue ripping Democrats that I have to bring Democrats in for 30 minutes and let \u2019em react to it. That\u2019s the equal-time doctrine. It\u2019s for media in politics.<\/p>\n

The Fairness Doctrine had nothing to do with that. The reason it was lifted is because was it ambiguous, difficult to enforce. It was all about balance, and radio stations have to balance to get their license approved. The way radio stations… Say I have my show on every day three hours a week. It doesn\u2019t mean that it has to be followed by three hours of commie bastards saying whatever they\u2019re say. It just says that some time, it does.<\/p>\n

If you want to measure balance on a broadcast day, if you want to measure balance on a broadcast week, if you want to measure balance in a month, it just says that you have to bring some kind of programming that\u2019s a little different any time you want. You don\u2019t have to balance three hours for three hours, guest for guest, any. That\u2019s the equal-time doctrine, and it\u2019s not applicable to a program like this. (Snort!) That would be a problem, if the equal… But the Fairness Doctrine was nothing that these people think that it is. The way radio stations balance…<\/p>\n

Look at us. We\u2019re the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and we don\u2019t have another show. Are we in violation of the Fairness Doctrine? No, because it\u2019s not in place now. We wouldn\u2019t be anyway because we\u2019re not a radio station license holder. But a station carries this show for three hours a day, which is 15 hours a week. It just means that at some point they have to carry some liberal programming or some opposition programming whenever. It doesn\u2019t have to be right after. It doesn\u2019t have to be the same time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be measured in that kind of way. It just was nebulous, and that\u2019s why it was lifted. As I say, I worked under it for three years in Sacramento, and it did not impair me in the slightest. One-day some NAALCP leader wanted to come in and complain about something eyed said. I said, “Come on in, man. Liberals are afraid to talk to me anyway. Come on in.” He spent 30 minutes talking about Senegal and how much he loves Senegal and we have so much to learn from Senegal, and I tried to make it interesting.<\/p>\n

I did my best to make it interesting. But the Fairness Doctrine\u2019s not a suicide pact, and that\u2019s how they want to use it. They want to employ the Fairness Doctrine to basically muzzle people. It\u2019s typical of the left. They cannot deal with us intellectually, and they cannot deal with us politically, so they set out to destroy us. Whether it\u2019s Kavanaugh, whether it\u2019s Clarence Thomas, whether it was Romney, whether it\u2019s Trump, it doesn\u2019t matter. We do not try to destroy anybody. That\u2019s not the objective.<\/p>\n

We get our jollies defeating them. We get our jollies educating people to who they really are, people on the left. But destroying people? Destroying their livelihoods, their reputations, ruining them? That\u2019s something exclusively owned and operated by them. I keep waiting for the American people to figure it out. “How could at any time be more obvious?” But then I have to stop and pinch myself. The media. The media is not reporting this Kavanaugh thing in any way factually, fairly — and if people only watch the media, they\u2019re not gonna learn half of the story here. (chuckles) I had other sound bites I wanted to play but Larry King got me all worked up again about what he doesn\u2019t know about broadcasting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
