Let’s call this what it is... “Fairness” has nothing to do with it...

It’s government censorship, designed for a “chilling effect” on the free speech of conservative radio, which is able to be commercially viable, i.e. pay for itself.

This is simply Ayn Rand’s “Equalization of Opportunity Act” from Atlas Shrugged. The longer I watch, the more it seems as if society is following Rand’s storyline. I feel like Eddie Willers!

The poll numbers are the reason why this is so important to the Dems, and why it will therefore be pushed through by any means necessary. It is the key to everything else.

I think this fairness doctrine is a stupid idea. Talk radio has a good use. It act as a pressure valve. Keeps the country from spilling into violent turmoil. .
