In 1987, FCC commissioners appointed by Ronald Reagan repealed the Fairness Doctrine, and that has already had a stunning effect on political debate in this country.

In other words, Molly is upset that the conservative point of view is getting out and causing the liberals to lose elections.

The fairness doctrine was created by the libs to suppress right wing radio decades ago..and it worked. Any station which had conservative content was attacked at license renewal time for being "biased". The result was ideological cleansing of the airwaves. The libs, meanwhile, controlled the tv airwaves (and somehow, the fairness doctrine was never used to rectify THAT bias).

In a nutshell, this witch wants to use the government to suppress ideas with which she disagrees.
