I think that before the conservatives get too excited over the debacle at CBS, they better consider the ramifications of the end product of this investigation. A possible return to the Fairness in Media Doctrine, which the left is trying to use to limit Scaife, Rush and other conservative media personalities.

I have no doubt that such censorship is their goal but I think Rush, for example, is just too deeply imbedded in our culture for us to tolerate such a raid on the first amendment. If the politicians on our side could not pull the plug on funding Sesame Street, imagine the firestorm if the libs went after Rush.

But you are right, the fairness doctrine is a spectre ever just over the horizon.

The next Democrat president will make reinstitution of The Fairness Doctrine the #1 priority on the day they are inaugurated, and if at all possible will do it by Executive Order.

Of course, they won't CAMPAIGN on it, they'll just do it.

Which of course is why we can't afford to have another Democrat President until, say, 2020, which is about when the playing field will finally be about level.
