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

and the various blacklists against actors, directors, writers, and
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.
That was before he was for it.. He did say he would sign it if it came
across his desk as POTUS.. but that's just how Obama rolls, just
depends on what audience he is pandering to..
If it really truly bothers you that it might come back, I'll be glad to
write to my Congressman and urge him to urge President Obama to sign it.
The more apoplectic the right is, the better for America.
