I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the
"fairness
doctrine." I'm old enough to remember the horrors of the HUAC
hearings
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.- Hide

No they would not. Nobody wants to listen to liberal haters, thats why
there are only govt and privately funded on the air. The "censorship
doctrine" would force any station that wanted to play right wing radio
which brings in ad revenue to also play left wing hate which does not
so they would in effect be forced to give half of their product away
for free. No business can survive like that so they would be forced to
drop any radio programs Pelosi and Reid found to be "right wing". And
again, Obama has told some audiences he is against it, and others he
is for it....
So, rightwing hate radio can only survive in its current vacuum?
Why is the market for "rightwing" radio so large and "leftwing" radio so
small?
For the same reason that MacDonalds sells so much more cheap meat than
a Michelin rated restaurant.
