They are interested in moving forward with the Koch, Bain and Rand philosophy. She is doing exactly what they want her to do, why have her take time off?

Many of us are still living in the dream that the Fairness Doctrine still exists or that the media is there to promote the public good. It is no there for that reason at all, but to promote the private good of monopolies and the most reactionary forces in society, to make them mainstream.

Most of the people they permit to talk on their airways will follow that line or else be gone. The rest are there to get liberals to believe they have a voice on the media and get them to tune in to hear the rest of it, to make it seem universally accepted until the day that it is.
