I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the "fairness

performing artists. *That* was real war against freedom of speech.

You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the fairness
doctrine, but I've heard of very few that actually want to reinstate it.
Obama, for one, is on the record against reinstating it.
