You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the fairness

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.

I think it's just out there to give the righties a tighter anal opening.
I mean, where would the boys be without reich-wing radio? Out wandering
the wilderness?

I'm in favor of almost anything that kicks the mindless righties in the
nuts, and, since I don't listen to reich-wing radio, watch Faux News or
have the hots for Ann Coulter-geist, I won't mind if the truth is
presented after they speak.

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.

Why is that? If Limbaugh and Coultergeist can continue to spew their
hate unabated, where's the censorship?
