The FCC’s Fairness Doctrine …
… should be renamed to “Let’s get Rush off the air“, because in reality that’s the only reason the liberals are discussing it. Me thinks these nutcases in Washington don’t really want to continue to piss of the dittoheads do they?
I already pay for 24/7 access to Rush’s site and I have XM Radio, so I’m willing to pay to get my “one sided talk radio” if it comes to it.
The Big Dog calls it “The Unfairness Doctrine“:
The Democrats believe that their message is not getting out because Conservative radio is distorting the truth. What Democrats are really saying is that they do not want you to have a choice in what you listen to and they will force people in the private sector to give opposing views the chance to air.
The Democrats believe this is fair but what it really is is an extension of their Socialist ways. They are, in essence, redistributing the opinions expressed on radio. They are not really any different than Hugo Chavez who seized control of radio stations in his Socialist “paradise.â€
A commentor at Redstate‘s “Fighting The “Fairness Doctrine” By Pejman Yousefzadeh has a valid point:
Category : Talk Radio | Tags : Hillary, Liberal Congress, Talk RadioThe lefties supporting this are totally upset over possible governement listening in on terrorists at work. Yet these same people blithely talk about censoring real Americans in the course of their excercise of the Constitution.
Fie on them, and defeat!

From what I heard on the Brit Hume show, the Fairness Doctrine is dead on arrival. There was a vote today in the House and Rep. Pence, (R-IN) successfully had more than enough opposition to stop the pursuit. So far so good. His bill, too, will make it impossible for it to ever be put into effect again without full approval of Congress.
Loud and proud.
