the bitch just wants to make sure that the sheep only get communist news and philosophy.
Opinion other than approved sorces will be outlawed.

The Ministry of Truth has spoken.
I’ll support the Fairness Doctrine if it applies to CBS, NY Times, MSNBC, etc.
Radio uses public airways to distribute the message...... must be fair.
News papers use public roads to distribute their message...... must be fair.
Time and Newsweek use public mails to distribute their message....... must be fair.
All media that uses public infrastructure are subject to the fairness doctrine
So, in other words this simple scumbag Eshoo wants CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC to now devote half of their days to bringing people in to present the news with a conservative spin? And Williams, Gibson, and Couric must vacate their desks for half of their broadcasts so conservative anchors can sit in and re-read the news with a conservative spin?
Wow.
They will throw everything in the pot in the hopes that some of it will stick. That will be the start.
The woman is a facist, plain and simple.
It will never be considered because it will violate the "First Amendment"
Wouldn't it be the better thing to follow Putin and just criminalize the opposition. You don't have to kill them, unless . . .
If they do that, it WILL be revolution. Period.
How about polling companies too???
Not quite. Big names would remain successful, they'd still have enough health to pull through despite the leeches. Marginal talkers might face extinction as the number of stations starts to dwindle, especially in smaller markets. We'd also see fewer independent talk stations as forming "superstations" would be one of the few ways to survive. A few would try placing bland, viewpoint-free programming on their schedule, and everyone would be hearing more commercials on their airwaves.
And besides all that, censorship is censorship - and we have a thing called the first amendment that supposedly is there to protect us from it.
Do our representatives actually vote on bills that we approve or do they make these things up as they go along? Who makes this stuff up? I don’t recall ever voting on anything like this??? Seriously, what other bills do these guys make up to benefit themselves. Shouldn’t we all vote on a bill that we feel is necessary and then they can discuss it amongst themselves. Otherwise, they should not be conversing on such nonsense! Freedom of Speech is being crippled!
You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, I’ve only been political for about 3 months now so this is so overwhelming!
No, this is great! If the bill extends to satellite and cable, then the liberal media will never let it pass. They’ss fight it tooth and nail.

Eshoo?
Don’t bless her.
And we all get our internet service over a cable of some kind or wireless wifi. She’s got to be coming after the Net, too.
...I wonder if “The Fairness Manifeto” can be apllicable to our elected representatives. “Oh,no, we’re not elected representatives, we’re elected lllleaders”!!!
