Any politician who has ever advocated the regulation of the content of any information media, even in an offhand remark, should be regarded as unfit for public office under the US Constitution.
If you can’t even read and understand the 1st Amendment, I am not interested in finding out what you “think” about the rest.

palani, you said it well. They think that they have a monopoly on ideas and that theirs are the only correct ones. I wonder where their “diversity” philosophy fits now?

When all voices are given equal time, we will find ourselves in a Tower of Babel. Many liberals simply cannot comprehend that all religions, practices, beliefs, motives, and people are not necessarily worthy of the same measures of respect and acceptance.

I want the “fairness” applied to network television. Ninety percent of the shows would either be off the air or their would be a corresponding show that had to be aired. When you have 90% of the broadcast medium can’t you just stop and smell the roses.

I believe that the "Fairness Doctrine" and the those elected officials that are pushing for its reinstatement do so from a desire to RULE than a desire to Serve the public. I think that the Courier Post editorial board are starting to hear echo's of King George and the British parliament in the words coming out of Washington D.C. these days and they might be worried.

I think this “Fairness Doctrine” business is an empty threat. There are just too many options around the MSM these days besides Talk Radio, such as Blogs, satellites, streaming, IPods, etc.

It won’t be long until you can listen to Limbaugh or Hannity on your cell phone with ease.

The Genie is out of the Bottle Lefties, and there’s NO putting him back.

Democrats are such sniveling babies. Having over 90% of the media in their back pockets just isn’t enough for them.

Hmm, reminds me of some People of Peace who aren’t satisfied with 90% of the Middle East.

Make that 99% give or take a .1%

There is nothing fair about the Fairness Doctrine. It is just a way for Liberals to control freedom of speech. Just look who is for it.

Will NPR have to be split up and balanced?

Since NPR is on 24/7 on every radio market in the USA, this would be an absolute coup. People like Mark Levin, Wilkow, etc. who are only in a handful of markets could have their voices heard.

Can you imagine Mark Levin during a fund raising drive for PUBLIC RADIO??? I’d stay home from work just to listen…

The two main arguments for the UnFairness Doctrine that I hear from liberals on other blogs are these:

1. The media is not liberal.
2. The fact that media outlets are owned by corporations PROVES the media is not libera.

Which works well with what DirkBelig said in #10 – to the left, capitalism/corporations=conservatives=evil. An argument that’s a non-starter with me.

Also building on #10, it’s doubtful the UnFairness Doctrine would apply to liberal stations and – if it did – they’d find the most liberal “conservative” available, put him/her on the air and be done with it. While, naturally, demanding REAL liberals be put on conservative stations.

Do not dismiss this as going away. Did you all not pay attention to shame-nesty? If, indeed, the MSM own 90% of the market share does it not stand to reason they have 90% of the big money lobbyists? The politico’s will not be interested in what is right as much as they believe in what will get the elected – money.

Call now, call often. Write in, write often. Emails are great too. Make some noise or be left wondering what happened.
