Vanity: What new name or title can be given to the "Fairness Doctrine"?
(SELF) Definition of the Fairness Doctrine ^ | 10-24-08 | SilvieWaldorfMD

Posted on 10/24/2008 8:06:37 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

The "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" is anything but fair. It seeks to shut down free speech and muzzle conservative-oriented broadcasting.

What name would you give the "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" if you were to re-name it?

In other words, what title or name should legislators give this piece of legislation?

Be blunt. Orwell was writing about Stalinism, not only in the USSR, but also in the US and UK. Call it what it is: The Stalinist Doctrine.

Works for me!

Nah. I meant to start right out of the gate with Billy Dale and travelgate through to Koresh, Elian Gonzalez and Kathleen Wiley, then the pardons.

I don’t want to come across as advising people to vote against McCain on election day, they should vote for the GOP as one of these two parties WILL win on election day, that said, we will also need to keep President McCain in check.

I think his own view, based on things said in recent years, is that he would support restricting talk radio, bloggers, etc. just as political advertising has been restricted by campaign finance reform.

I oppose the legislation regardless of who is pushing it.
