It makes my point. i-node and the wingnuts are claiming it has an equal time requirement.

It doesn't as the wikipedia correctly points out.

Nobody I know of has said it requires "equal time". What I have said, and what others recognize, is that only by providing equal time can radio broadcasters put themselves in a defensible posture should a liberal FCC decide to move against them.

Furthermore, SHOULD it be reinstated by statute rather than by FCC determination, we don't KNOW what the requirements would be. With a strongly liberal Congress, it could be worse than equal time for all we know.

This shouldn't even be a subject of debate in a country that prides itself on free speech.
