If they do pass a fairness doctrine (and I hope they don’t) it sure as hell better contain “fairness” on the traitorous TV stations.
thats of course the irony of the whole thing.... it never seems to apply to NPR or PBS which actually get public funding and there is an even stronger case for “fairness”. I think the fairness doctrine will only be applied once a replacement on the court happens. Need to put in one more justice who will think there is no free speech rights in the “antiquated” 1st amendment because Marx said so.
The left believes the MSM IS fair, there will be no “fairness” applied to TV.
“...it sure as hell better contain “fairness” on the traitorous TV stations.”
I’m sure it will contain all the right weasel-words to sound fair. The MSM, et al., will just ignore it. It will only be enforced against conservatives.
It will be up to us to use their tools against them by filing lawsuit after lawsuit under the “fairness doctrine” to force the MSM to include conservative voices AND PAY MOUNTING LEGAL EXPENSES.
Better still, have a real “come to Jesus” meeting with the Republican Senators and talk about how to execute and support a sustained filibuster.
They won’t touch the MSM. 1st Amendment Constitutional Rights.
