Should the FCC classify slander of public officials on the radio as offensive.?

Question

This way we don't need to reinstate the fairness act to hold liars accountable for abusing the public airwaves.

Answer 1

Once they enter public office, they become fair game for criticism--it's a responsibility to non-violently criticize the government employees.

Answer 2

Oddly enough, truth cannot be slander although it can be vulgar.

If you are offended by talk radio, you have complete control over your radio dial.

I have no desire to have my radio dial interfered with by you or by the government, on your behalf.

I'm part of the public and my airwaves are just fine.

Do you want to know why lib talk radio continues to fail?

People are inundated by lib media as it is, you can get that tripe anywhere.

Conservative talk radio is a lone voice from the liberal desert pointing the way to the water.

Answer 5

Most radio and television personalities host opinion based shows.  They take an act or a speech and they interpret it anyway they wish.  It is not really slander when there is some truth to the accusations and especially when they involve public officials running for office.  I assume you are talking about Al Franken or Keith Oberman.  They are not really commiting slander against McCain.  Some of their criticism is true and just.
