Sounds reasonable but because they did not take into consideration the their own bias did not recognize this difference in perspective between the Left and the Right, their observations are null and void.
If you can't see what is obvious then you are assuming that everyone else must - which aint’t so.
Liberals so accept status quo in their media that they can only see it as good and that ours is bad and needs to come to the same status as their choice.
Fairness has nothing whatsoever to do with anything. It is comfort that they are truly concerned with and they are uncomfortable with Talk Radio so it MUST be changed to their control (defination), then they can once again be comfortable.
Then the world will be good and they will again never have to think again for that is the cause of their discomfort.
There are several reasons why libs think they can go after radio and not have to worry about TV or the press being affected. The most important is legal precedent. The fairness doctrine was the law of the land and has never been struck down by SCOTUS(only by the now lib dominated FCC). In fact, all rulings by SCOTUS have reaffirmed the doctrine. Next, any attempts at imposing the fairness doctrine on lib dominated TV and press would have to break new legal ground. So radio is fair game to them and tv and press are relatively protected. Which leads to the next thing which is that since SCOTUS has been unclear on where they would land on this, and since any legal case may come after Obama has appointed his judge or judges, its worth a shot. Even if a SCOTUS ruling comes before an Obama appointment to the bench, nobody believes they would extend an anti-fairness doctrine ruling to tv and press. Libs know that the worst that could happen is that we would end up right back at where we are now.

The real problem is they don’t see ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/NPR/etc...as biased. They actually believe they are non-partisan!
