FEC and MSM: Scary Scenario
I spoke with Tony (yes, I am actually friends with a flaming liberal) on the subject of the FEC and the upcoming rulings on blogs (see next post).
Tony indicated that he didn’t think it would go anywhere because there would be no way to regulate it. “What are you going to do, sue 30,000 people?”
I give you the RIAA.
Imagine if law was passed that restricted political speech on the internet. CBS gets pummeled by PoliPundit and RatherBiased.com? Guess who gets sued?
Imagine the effect if MSM and thier liberal cohorts sue just one or two top bloggers. Perhaps some conservative retaliates against DK or even DU.
Bloggers would abandon ship in droves. I can’t afford to take on the deep pockets of the NY Times. Can you?
