Two more voices to revive the so-called formerly-moribund “Fairness Doctrine”:
It’s time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). “I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they’re in a better position to make a decision.”
But of course it won’t just kill Conservative talk radio; it’ll kill Air America and any other “talkers” and, primarily, ALL of the AM side of radio. And a good portion of news “content” in television. Trust me, the lawsuits’ll be flying all over this one.
I wish I could say I trusted my GOP leaders to respond appropriately.
I fear they lack two necessary items (as certainly history has shown):
- The guts
- The cohesion

And yes, the RNC is STILL soliciting me. And YES, I am STILL filling those envelopes with copies of the LETTER I sent to them INSTEAD of cash.

Republicans will respond to this because it is a huge issue and you can bet I will be extremely vocal about it. I’ll link to this when I do my post on it.
Please please PLEASE link to this and do your BEST to REFUTE the Fairness Doctrine!!
