I searched to see if this had it's own thread, and didn't find anything, I apologize if it's already been posted. Anyway, Brent Bozell's Media Research Center has a petition to stop the so called fairness doctrine.
Let’s amend it to apply to the MSM instead.

A petition?
Really?
The left assembles in mass and lobbies 24/7 for their side.
We...Well we have an online petition.
My hubby and I signed it!
I think if this goes into law it should apply to the MSM and all the newspapers! If it’s really about fairness let’s make it really fair!
First thing we need to do- is rename it.
“Fairness” is not part of this doctrine.
I guess it should apply to sports radio also. If they say how great the NY Giants are playing I would assume they have to say the same for the Detroit Lions.
I’ve signed it. Thank you.
I hear you, but for what it’s worth, I think they will be lobbying. After signing the petition it goes to a page where they are accepting tax deductable donations.

Could this be our future with this dictator and pals/army/thugs?

It's going to be an uphill battle.
“The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as “the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression”.”
Everyone should sign this, unless we want one of our most principled rights to be taken away.
