“The Fairness Doctrine would only apply to public broadcast spectrum. Right?”

Wrong. There already are efforts to apply the fairness doctrine to the internet because it also is a thorn in the side of those that would like to silence dissent.

I know the libs would give their left nut to control the Internet. However, it’s nearly an intractable problem. What’s more, I’ve never seen a serious attempt by a lawmaker to impose censorship or “fairness” on the net.

(By “serious attempt”, I mean for example a proposed draft of a bill to include the Intranet in the fairness doctrine. Not just liberal blather, which they do on a regular basis.)

Do you have a link or other source that indicates otherwise?

I guess that means an end to Rap Music, not to mention the rest of the Entertainment Industry.
