Bwahahahaha!

Guess we'll see a big push by the media to draw attention to the Fairness in Broadcasting Act or whatever it was called.

You're not alone. Neal Boortz predicts that reinstatement of the so called fairness doctrine will be an early priority of the next rat controlled Congress. That would kill conservative talk radio.

Be assured that, should the Democrats regain Congress, one of their first initiatives will be to restore "the Fairness Doctrine".

It would mean the end of talk radio.

It was called the fairness doctrine, a plan only given cursory lip service to by the major media. When abandoned in the mid-80s, it allowed talk-radio pundits such as rush limbaugh and others to rise to prominence (no more needing to give both sides of the story, which nobody really did anyway-bias was happening all the way back to the 1960s). Media outlets and major networks actually sued to be given permission to abandon it.
