I notice the "fairness doctrine" popped up in this article. Rush has mentioned it a few times on his show, as in, the only way they can compete is to reinstate the fairness doctrine. Wonder if the socialists ( I've decided to stop calling them liberals ) will start a campaign to put it back in place? "The Republicans are in charge and it won't happen" you say? Well, they're patient. If the noise level about the fairness doctrine ( like the SUV chorus has ) goes up, expect it to be on the agenda the next time Dims get an opportunity.

You are absolutely right, I believe there is an agenda here that is interwoven with what Clinton, Gore, Daschle and I'm surprised, John McCain hasn't joined in yet in saying. I'm not much of a conspiracy adherent but I smell something here.

This will die down once the Right turns talk of the "Fairness Doctrine" away from conservative talk radio towards how it would also affect outlets such as NPR, ABC News, Meet The Press, etc.

The "Fairness Doctrine" will work both ways. I believe that, in the end, restoring the Fairness Doctrine will hurt the Left more than the Right. The Right is already comfortable discussing all sides of an issue. It's the Left that can't hold up to scrutiny, and allowing opposing opinion to intrude into their previously "safe zones" will undercut their single-threaded messages to their base.
