FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

Typical of Democrats: "if you don't like something just pass a law". The most recent example of this is the Fairness Doctrine now being supported by most Democrats to be passed as soon as possible. The primary purpose of the doctrine is to censure talk radio which is nearly exclusively controlled by conservative rhetoric. This would give the federal government more unecessary control over our thoughts and give liberals an unfair means to subdue conservative ideology. As seen on Nielsen ratings liberal talk radio is way far behind Sean Hannity, Dennis Prager, Hugh Huwitt, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved and Jason Lewis. This has resulted in a drastic drop in commercial sponsorship sorely needed to fund their programing and this resulted in the loss of Al Franken's failed Air America talk
show.
