Censorship is what it is all about, not Fairness. Funny how they pick names that are the opposite of what actually happens. Censorship is what it is all about, not Fairness.

It is being pushed by the Democrats because the feel that those who do not agree with them are wrong!

This Doctrine simply requires any licensed station to ALLOW for an opposing view point rather than push their own agenda as truth. It in FACT does not censor any view point it simply says you have to present the other viewpoint as well and allow for a rebuttal by persons that you attack.Most credible News channels already do this, including Fox.

But I remember before Reagan gutted the Fairness Doctrine and stations had to allow for opposing viewing when it came to politics. it was interesting listening to both sides present their point of views, one after the other.

You need to look back to why conservatives had to go to talk radio to understand. They were effectively squeezed out of all broadcasts (Believe it or not but TV news and current events used to be WAY more biased to the left than it is now) so they went to where the liberals weren't. AM radio. It was considered a dead format, there was no one broadcasting really, so there was lots of cheap air time to be had. This was around the late 70's when things started to take off. All they have to do is disrupt, and they are itching to do it. They can't compete anywhere except in an intellectual vacuum, so they need to snuff out what the conservatives do have a majority presence in.

When the station owners see that their slots following Rush are not being listened to, and no one will buy an ad turning that slot, the station owners will feel it in the pocketbook and either switch formats altogether or go off the air. The could care less about getting Randi Rhoads on the air, they just want Rush off. It’s not about choice.

I am going to join with the person who already has lawsuits lined up against liberal sources. They are also calling it something else, but it will still have the same effect.

It will not happen. It is a non issue. This is another non issue that Hannity and Limbaugh will use to keep their sheep in their trance. Although the Bush administration was allowed to wipe their arse with the constitution, most Americans still believe in it and will defend it. (conservative republicans will not unless they are told to do so by hannity or limbaugh) It is not a Democrat issue.
