Nat Hentoff is without doubt one of the great journalistic minds of our age:
"The language of 'fairness' is seductive."
And it celebrates the government deciding your allotment of freedom of speech.
Our young people have not been taught the fundamentals of what our Constitution stands for, so it is not so surprising that they fail to recognize the principles turn upside down. We the people are no longer the sovereigns since media can control so completely what is allowed to be known about the prospective leaders. Media has become the scum of the nation.

He shouldn’t be able to control satellite radio with the UNFairness Doctrine, so we could get satellite radio.

1. I don't know, I don't read Jewish World Review, but they're very conservative, so if I had to bet I'd say yes.
2. If anyone is responsble for this country going aground on sharp rocks, it isn't Nat Hentoff.

FR, Has been shut down b/c DoS attacks, could it be related?
Is that a fact?...
once in 8 months+/-, but three times (11/4, 11/8, today) in a span of a week after the election...
Red Obambi / "Plugs" Obiden / "Premium Gas" Pelosi / "Dirty" Reid, have stated one time or another,
their desire to re-instate the (so-called) "Fairness Doctrine"...and they're NOT hiding that desire.

Acccording to some- Obama’s choice of FCC replacement in June 2009 is Michael Rivera - a rabid fan of the Fairness Doctrine. This will make 3-2 of libs to non libs - The suspicion is that the decision will be made this way so that the Obama Pelosi Reid bunch can shrug and act as though it was out of their hands. Knowing info ahead of time should give opposition time to expose the plan. Mark Levin is the most verbal on this subject yet- He has it in for Schumer for already declaring favor for it. Schumer is up for reelection in 2010 - Time to pick a good opponent. Hitlery won't mind it will make her be the Senior Senator!

The only thing that can stop it is a filibusterOnce again we'll see Maverick John McCain to the Democrats' rescue. He must be salivating at the thought of sticking it to Rush.

To: GaryLee1990
My understanding is that it is a regulation implemented by the FCC. New members will be appointed when the current term is up, June 2009. Three D’s and 2 R’s. The next day they can vote for the new Fairness doctrine regulation, no congress or Senate approval needed.
