In retaliation, the campaign has cut off the station’s access to the candidates and their wives.  If Obama wins, Channel 9 can expect its next FCC licensing renewal to go badly.  You think I exaggerate?  Not at all — the same “community organizing” tactics which worked so well to make housing affordable by having government coerce lenders to make bad loans, will also work by demanding that stations have more “local” content and more balance, even though consumers don’t want it.  And the slick thing is that they won’t even need to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine to achieve their goals.
