FCC considers stealthy 'Fairness Doctrine'

The term "Fairness Doctrine" will have to be changed .... much like the term "Liberal" has changed into the term "Progressive"......

Perhaps "Fairness Doctrine" will morph into something like "Representative Broadcast Programing"

What part of the First Amendment, is so complicated?

[TADSLOS]

...and the FCC is currently managed and controlled by which party and President again...?

"In 2007, they issued a report in which they bragged that if they could get more women and minorities to own stations, there'd be fewer stations carrying programs like Rush Limbaugh.

Is this because leftists think that women and minorities are bad at business?

You're assuming they care about the Amendments.

[Onelifetogive]

...a backdoor Fairness Doctrine.

This sounds like a compromise worked out between two gays...

I think it is the part that says the 2nd Amendment is a collective right.

[Recon Dad]

There are too many of liberals in congress.....we demand fairness.

IMO, Liberals are the enemy of freedom as much as Al Qaeda and other terrorists. Our troops are fighting our enemies in Iraq and Afganistan; it is up to us to fight our internal enemies (Liberals) just as vigorously. In the case of Liberals, exposure and truth will be our ammunition. Liberals are attacking our Constiutional rights, our freedom, our heritage, our way of life; Liberals, unchecked, will destroy our children and grandchildren’s future. Liberals attempts to destroy America are done in secrecy and under the radar. It is up to us to expose Liberals 24/7.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Eventually every term describing the left’s agenda will be changed to prevent anyone recognizing it for what it is. And the new ones will all be flattering terms, so that anyone who opposes them will be “unfair”, or “non-progressive”.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I could have sworn that a Republican president appointed the head of the FCC.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Liberals aka American Gestapo

[rface]

I believe that is so....

[Tzimisce]

When are we going to have a “fairness doctrine” that applies to American Universities? I mean, most of them are getting government grants. Isn’t the left wing blige they spew out basically propaganda?

And isn’t it interesting that “fairness minded” libs never complain about the university/college system?

" ... Liberals attempts to destroy America are done in secrecy and under the radar. It is up to us to expose Liberals 24/7."

Perhaps years ago it was done in secrecy, (1940's?) but it is, and has been "in your face" for many, many years.

The problem is how does the information (that the left is out to destroy the U.S.A.) get on the "radar" if it is being overwhelmed with American Idol, Jerry Springer, and Oprah addicts?

[DBrow]

This is overdue. People must be tired of being forced, forced to listen to Rush when they’d rather listen to someone else.

Women and minorities would gladly reject Limbaugh and put on Air America, which would solve the problem of managing so many complicated advertising accounts. They could run PSAs all day and night.

[SouthTexas]

I think it's all economics, Rush sells, Air America doesn't.

This clueless statement they bragged that if they could get more women and minorities to own stations, implying that those owners would not be interested in making money, just shows their ignorance on capitalism.

Not any more. Just watch the BS networks' evening news, if you can stomach that trash.

[mysterio]

Defund the FCC. If the kids see a boob during the superbowl, they’ll live.
