  • I am worried!!
    If we start demanding that liberals get the same amount of time on air with conservatives, it's going to make us look bad. I do agree that conservatives make more sense than liberals do for the most part.
  • Fairness doctrine
    Fairness Doctrine???? That means....If your white your screwed
  • Fairness Doctrine - not all bad?
    If the Fairness Doctrine is enacted again it only makes sense to extend it to ALL the marketplaces of ideas - such as academia and the MSM. Maybe we can get rid of some of these liberals indoctrinating our children.
  • obamalamadingdong will take away your free speech away
    look at how he cries over fox, friggin crybaby!
  • snarkybird, Since you're always citing articles from Supposed “Conservatives” and such always wanting more taxation and bigger government, here's one right back at you.
    Apparently Castro is a real big fan of Fauxbama:

    What does a Statist dictator's take on your hero Fauxbama tell you about him?
    Does the phrase: Two peas in a pod come to mind?
  • @Blayne
    Blayne, you meant Optimus Prime, who goes by many other Monikers such as Lane Meyer and Sgt. Slaughter and is basically this board's version of the village idiot.

    There is no use in talking to this cretin, as thinking is not among his list of abilities.
  • To Blayne
    Wrong guy.
  • you are wrong.......
    JAMES THORNTON........

    We has met the enemy.....and it is us......
  • Fairness Doctrine
    What makes you think the Fairness Doctrine will be applied equally? The guvmint unfairly applies rules, regulations, and laws all the time.

    For example, Congress has excluded themselves and a large number of government employees from having to participate in the Government option under Pelosicare and Obamacare. Is that fair?

    The so called cash for clunkers program excluded newer vehicles (pickups, SUV's), even though the miles per gallon these vehicles got were less than the older vehicles. Is that fair or even logical or does it even make sense?

    Despite Obama’s campaign pledge to not allow earmarks in Congressional bills, Congress still continues to put in earmarks, even though they have not been considered or voted on by the members. Is that fair?

    It is not fair and it is the actions of 435 Kings, Queens, and Dictators who thing they are gods, ala Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, and Kim Yung IL, to name a few of history’s worst dictators, and we are peasants. Is that fair?

    The Fairness Doctrine will apply only to conservative radio and TV because the government will need to "correct the present imbalance in presentation of news and information in the current media scenario."

    There will be nothing "fair" about the Fairness Doctrine since the left, the socialists, and the liberal democrats will craft the legislation.

    As Pogo once said, we have faced the enemy, and it is Socialism.
  • Book banning
    Hey, Ivan "the genius," can you please give 1 example of Congress banning books because they weren't "Christian enough?"
  • Not Fair
    Frank, what is "fair" changes depending on who is in office at the time. So it's naive to think it can be applied fairly. Leave it alone.
  • The Fairness Doctrine
    The only reason we keep hearing about the Fairness Doctrine is because occasionally a left wing legislator will bring it up to gain points with his or her constituency and right wing radio hosts love to use it to get their audience fired up. No one on either side of the aisle or in the White house wants to enforce this thing.
  • The Fairness Doctrine
    I'm all for the Firness Doctrine if it is applied fairly. If this "political balance" is applied to predominantly conservative AM talk radio, then it should be also be applied to predominantly liberal television news and commentary. Ditto for newspapers.

    Either everyone applies "The Fairness Doctrine" or no one should be forced to apply it.

    That is what "fair" truly means.
  • Not going to pass
    This isnt going to pass. Nobody is going to restrict speech. This would be similar to if conservatives banning books because they werent christian enough. Oh wait, that has happened all over the place.
  • They will not apply the fairness doctrine...
    The NWO oligarchs will allow Conservative Talk Radio to go on for a while because once the US/Global economy collapses talk radio will probably be pretty up in arms over the whole ordeal and it will help rally the people to fight the government which is exactly what the NWO wants. Once there is literally fighting in the streets the NWO will make their move and offer their "solutions" to the geopolitical problems we face and then take full control. Unfortunately for us they plan on a full crack down on ever single freedom you currently enjoy. Imagine China and you will have a good idea of what to expect. Think it can't happen? Well it seems there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of economists and geopolitical strategists out there that know this to be true. If you follow trends you will also know this is true. It is a shame that for a large part of the population all of this will come as a shock because there is a large segment of society that is almost completely braindead. Products of the system.
