One of the many questions that's bugging me is where are the lines drawn. Does the Fairness Doctrine apply to ALL opinions, or only those of a political nature?<br> <br> In other words, will Christian radio stations be required to "balance" their playlists with Insane Clown Posse? For every hour of broadcasted sermons, will they be required to also provide an hour of lectures on secular humanism?<br> <br> The Fairness Doctrine, even if it could be Constitutionally defended (which it clearly cannot), it is FAR too vague to be implemented, FAIRly.<br> <br> It reminds me of Potter Stewart's criteria for hardcore pornography -- "I know it when I see it."<br> <br> In order for laws to be fairly implemented, there MUST be a clearly defined set of rules to follow. Otherwise, how will we know when we have violated those laws? With the Fairness Doctrine, there can't be a clearly defined set of rules.
