Conservative talk radio is now non-existent in central Maine.

First it was FM 96.3. Explanation? It was more lucrative for the network to relegate Ray and Ted, Laura Ingraham, Shawn Hannity and others to some obscure AM station in favor of endless sports blather.

More recently it's FM 103.9. Try tuning in. Instead of Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage or Howie Carr, you are treated to something that sounds like radio frequency jamming.

Shades of Nazi Germany? Coincidence? Somehow the silencing of these voices before a major election just doesn't pass the "smell test."

One has to wonder if this is another form of the "Fairness Doctrine." Perhaps MoveOn.org could enlighten us.
