Ah yes, the Fairness Doctrine. It's not fair that anyone who disagrees with big-government socialism should be allowed to say so on the gove - er, I mean, on the people's airwaves, so we must require all broadcasters to provide equal time to their opponent, so as to make sure the sheeple are not misled. Of course this effectively doubles the cost of a conservative talk show, as broadcasters would have to sell twice as much advertising time, and the opposition figure may not have the draw of say, a Rush Limbaugh or a Sean Hannity. The result: very few stations would carry either Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. That's fair.
Ah yes, the Fairness DoctrineWhen they had control, they wouldn't put Rush on. Now that people have made him their choice, the "pro-choice" liberals want to silence him. When you read their screeds at their sites, the Fairness Doctrine is discussed as a way to silence Limbaugh, not to get their message out.
In fact, it's best that they NOT get their message out as evidenced by the results of Election 2002.
As Limbaugh says, "I am the application of the Fairness Doctrine."
In the marketplace of ideas, Liberals are going bankrupt. I can find one hundred thousand people who know and like Rush for every one person who has just heard of this nobody.
