No, I'm not. Newt co-sponsored the bill in 1987. Thank goodness Reagan vetoed it.

That was just a link to the opinion of a unnamed PJ media poster and the opinion of same. Nothing cited to back it up, no records of a vote, nothing but an “ I think this or that happened” spew of BS.

Things have changed since 1987. Back then conservative talk programs were just coming on to the scene in a big way. The Fairness Doctrine back then most likely would have benefitted conservatives. Not so today, 25 years later.

At the time that Newt did this, talk radio as we know it now did not exist. At that time, the ACU and other very well known conservatives agreed with him. It is intellectually dishonest to take an act out of the context of when it occurred.
So yes, you were being intellectually dishonest.
