Petition To Stop The Fairness Doctrine
MRC Action ^

Posted on 06/26/2008 5:30:41 AM PDT by Man50D

Help Declare Radio Independence Day!

The Media Research Center is leading the effort to expose and defeat these efforts. The Broadcaster Freedom Act (H.R. 2905) -- a bill in Congress that would ban permanently the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.” -- is stalled in Congress. We want to rally 100,000 signers by July 4th so we can press every member of Congress to go on record on this vital First Amendment issue.

NOTE: The “Broadcaster Freedom Act” is currently stuck in committee. Sign this petition urging Congress to bring this bill to a vote by July 4th! -- "Radio Independence Day"

The Fairness Doctrine

Why not have it apply to Congress? Everything would be 50/50. There should be no majorities nor minorities. Equal time for all. That would be fair - no?

The signature form takes a sec but is worth it.

How is that AirAmerica thing working out for liberals? Millions and millions in free publicity by all the major newspapers and networks, surely the thing is turning a huge profit. Surely the rantings of hateful liberal lunatics would sure attract a HUGE audience.

Done. Great quote from the French-looking John Kerry:

"I think the Fairness Doctrine ought to be there ... One of the most profound changes in the balance of the media was when the conservatives got rid of equal time requirements. The result is that they've been able to squeeze down and squeeze out opinion of opposing views."

Obama doesn’t need the fairness doctrine. He’ll just classify all conservative talk radio as hat speech and start prosecuting.
