One of the biggest issues this election season has been how biased the traditional media has been. Yet the people whose side has been the least represented in this exchange are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the "Fairness Doctrine". This fact alone should make people afraid that this doctrine will only make matters worse.

I am not worried, though, because I know that once people get a taste of freedom, they won't easily give it up for NOTHING. Unlike Socalism, there is no 'reward' or percieved benefit to giving up your freedom of speech. The message will continue to get out.

You mean like they did when this mis-named piece of authoritarian junk was first imposed in 1949? People put up with it for 38 years, until Republicans gained Congressional control! The plan was always to silence conservatives.

Its only purpose now is to kill off conservative talk shows. No media outlet can afford to "balance" a profitable on-air personality like Rush with dead-loss idiots from Air America for 3 hours daily. The Dems know this.
