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

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.
Check with the US Senate.
Ain't payback a bitch? OF course, the fairness doctrine doesn't call for
censorship of any kind, so if it were reinstated, the loony righties
could go on spewing their hate speech just as they are now.
Not direct censorship but the result is the same.
