In the end, once I had a citation I was sort of armed, and got the information into the article, though in a different section than I thought warranted.
It didn't have to be an editing war; I could have maybe gone into the talk pages and discussed it there. |

I missed the whole episode. What were you trying to amend?

As far as the fairness doctrine goes, it is a problem created by first regulation which concentrated power down from thousands of small players to hundreds and then partial deregulation which killed off the remaining small players leaving us with very few enormous players. When the original regulation occurred they recognized one problem, they were limiting access to what had been a free arena. Their solution, the fairness doctrine, served the two major parties very nicely. After partial deregulation the Republicans adapted to the new ground rules and seized hate radio. Now the Democrats want their piece of the action back... fairness has little to do with it.

Typical bullshit victimhood mentality of Dems. Free market forces drive the popularity of radio, who ever broadcasts it regardless of content.

There is no free market in radio, Limbaugh figured out how to be entertaining and provide cheap content first. He did what he was supposed to do.

It was a 45? -year-old mayor who was found to have been gay-boning an 18-year-old. We were in the midst of finding news that erased the party affiliation. The Wikipedia entry had been cleansed of party affiliation, so I found it and put it into the entry. It was immediately cleansed again, the "excuse" being that the position of mayor was non-partisan. I found a cite from his own biography and placed the affiliation in a lower section of the entry. That must have stuck because it wasn't removed.
