Very scary example, IMO.  Any time someone on a broadcast station attacks an 
author of a controversial book, the station would have to let the author 
respond.

So in this past campaign, Andy Martin was attacking Obama all over the 
place.  If a station pointed out Martin's personal track record, he would 
get time to respond?  Wonderful.
