"They really are clueless about the free market, aren't they?"
Yes. They are IMHO.
And they will use petitions like this or try and get the FCC to bully the Fairness Clause back into existance through whatever judicial means necessary if they have to. Just like they've done on every other "landmark" piece of Libeal flotsam that's been foisted up us over the last 35 years. It's the ONLY way they can continue to force their monority view of the world down the majority's throat.
