"Fairness doctrine" already protecting Senator Dodd? Station spikes hostile interview?

Breaking news from CT today. Chris Dodd deigned to answer questions from a radio reporter.

The station owners decided not to air the interview.

Now, Tom Scott is a former hardline Republican state senator and third party gubernatorial candidate. He's made no bones about the poor regard he's held Dodd in well before the "Friends of Angelo" mortgage scandal went public. But we are talking about a host on New Haven's top AM radio station here; not some blogger under a screen name

The New Haven Independent is an "alternative" newspaper that has little use for anything to the right of ACORN, but god bless their heart, they do like the First Amendment.  And here's their take on Tom Scott's last stand  http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2008/11/exclusive_censo.php 

"Dodd Interview Censored"

WELI and Clear Channel are trying to paint this as some "creative disagreement" between Scott and his novice co-host. Sure. The suits at Clear Channel simply thought raking Dodd over the coals would be bad business for the whole chain.

Here's the interview too hot for New Haven to handle  http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/upload/2008/11/102808_edited_Dodd.mp3

I'd like to say this is the last time corporate radio squelches a controversial local host so as to make nice with the Democratic establishment, but I'm sure it won't be.
