The Fairness Doctrine is pointless and irrelevant in a world where the internet and satellite radio are constantly grabbing market share from both major forms of broadcast media (television and radio).

If it makes you feel any better, I'm predicting that terrestrial radio as an industry is slowly circling the toilet right now and may not survive in any meaningful form after the end of Rush Limbaugh's current contract.

What we do here is nothing different than what was done in early America. Papers were posted in the town square and people stood around and exchanged opinions. The fairness doctrine is, as you said, pointless.
