[BC] Fairness doctrine by another name? Donna's humble request

[Craig Bowman]

How is that unfair to the owner?  You know, the folks who employ us.  
Don't we want them to be successful? 
When Rush started he was on many of those 500 watt teapots and became 
successful anyway.  Many times his show was the only profitable daypart 
on these otherwise throwaway AM's.  It was not until the end of the 
contract that Rush had the opportunity to move up to the big stick.
