For everyone concerned about civil liberties

What would you say if a congressman took it upon himself to call into a radio station and to threaten the sation's management for taking a commentator off the air?
To imply in plain terms that he has been on the commerce-telecommunications subcommittee and would be back on it and would be looking into unfair radio broadcasts.
Just wondering.

  - It is one thing to investigate the coordination of effort. This guy was trying to intimidate a radio station into changing its program choices. - ebnelson - 9/30/2004 8:34:52 PM
