How does one defend the fairness doctrine?
05/14/07
I've heard it proposed and my policy is to take every argument seriously, but how does one defend this? Here's what I've come up with so far:
1. People who listen to AM radio but have never attended college, read a newspaper, or watched television might get the impression that everybody's conservative.
2. ummm....I don't know. I'm all tapped out. Can anybody help?

First, I listen to AM radio, Graduated from college, actually know that everyone is not conservative ... I also know that the "Fairness Doctrin" can not be defended. It is the most blatant violation of the first amendment that has been shoved upon us by modern politicians.
I could not believe my ears when they actually said out loud that the reasion they are pushig it is because there are candidates on the republican side who may have influence in the media that they don't want them to have (meaning Fread Thompson).
They actually mentioned that they had to have the fairness doctrin because Air America failed. Well, if Air America failed it was because not enought people wanted to listen to it. That is a vote aginst what you are saying. You are not allowed by the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America to then try to pass a law to shut down free speach that you dont like that you cant stop with your own ideas.
Liberal speach has CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC, PBS, NPR, MSNBC and most of Hollywood. They can't control the freedom in radio so they want to try and legislate it?? Sounds like they want to stop free speach to me.
That is why the "Fairness Doctrin" can not be defended.
I have spent 23 years in the military defending the
Constitution of the United States. Nancy Pelosy and Harry Reid and Move on dot Org do not have the right to stomp on it and brush it aside like some old dusty piece of paper in the atic.
