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. Not direct censorship but the result is the same. |
