In 1976 there WAS a fairness doctrine. There was no conservative media. There was no talk radio. The three networks dominated all media coverage. The Democrats had 61 senators and a stronger majority in the House than they do now. ACORN was also around in 1976 as well.
ACORN will become less effective the more light is shown on their activities, and they are front and center on the RNC’s radar right now.
Isn’t Barry giving ACORN 2+ Billion from the porkulus package. They’ll have some great attorneys with all the money.
