The doctrine was a requirement that any radio station that included political programing would be required to provide “equal time” for both sides.

Uh, Jason....don't forget the boobtube.

Nice try at fairness but this is mushy gobbely-gook. The author apparently knows nothing about the concept of "localism" and other myriad of ways to achieve the same ends without using the term "fairness doctrine" to label it.

Obama essentially committed to not using the term "Fairness Doctrine" while implementing all of it's tenets.

“An Obama administration spokesman has explicitly stated the President’s opposition to the reimposition of the so-called “fairness doctrine”.”

Haven’t heard it from the Obamasia yet. I want him to come out and say “read my lips” on this. Look what happened to the last president who did that and didn’t stand by what he said.
