As liberal members of Congress advocate a return of the decades-old Fairness Doctrine, an intriguing hypocrisy has surfaced: the Democrat front-runner for president in 2008 shuns talk radio interviews. As a result, one of the top liberal talk radio hosts in the nation, Ed Schultz, is slamming Hillary Clinton at his website (emphasis mine throughout):Cutting to the chase, Hillary's people treat us like dirt. We are constantly disregarded, told things that aren't true, and given speculation an interview might happen someday. Quite frankly, I'm sick of it.It appears that one of America's top liberal radio hosts, with an audience of 2.5 million listeners a week, can’t get Hillary to do an interview with him.

SCARBOROUGH: Let’s just turn him off. I can’t. I mean, seriously? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can’t. I can’t listen to it. You know, um

SCARBOROUGH: Mara Gay, that was painful; that was a that was a long four years. Um, but you know what’s interesting, Mara, is he’s talking about, oh we’ve got the Republican Party, we don’t need whatever. Well, this was like the most hardcore, of the most hardcore, wing of the Republican Party, self-selected Trumpers who knew he was going to speak, and he still only gets fifty-five percent of the Straw Vote. And somebody called and said, how is
