I think you are right, and there is an indication that they might understand it, but it would come to liberals' sense of "money vs ideology" i.e., quite often Hollywood and/or various sponsors (Bing, Soros et al) will spend money on propaganda movies that they know will not recoup the financial investment in order to promote their ideology. Most recently there were movies about Iraq war or WOT, like In the Valley of Elah, Rendition and others that failed badly at the box office, but are replayed incessantly on HBO and other cable/satellite channels.

FTA: Michael Axline, a Sacramento lawyer who worked with Dominguez on the earlier trial, said he would advise the director to reconsider releasing the film.

And from an earlier version of same article http://www.breitbart.com/print.php?id=D982DON00&show_article=1 , it states Another lawyer in the case says he will seek to stop release of the film.

Right; and that's pretty much a summation of what the "Fairness Doctrine" is all about....their voterbase (the entitlements' crowd) is NOT a target of advertisers and their "liberal talk shows" lack legitimate sponsorship (other than agenda-based money like Soros, etc.), and thus they cannot fairly compete with Talk Radio that has a listenership of WORKING, EARNING, PRODUCTIVE American consumers.
