All About - the Fairness Doctrine
If we allow the government to go down this road, our future of freedom is truly at stake.
Only our free enterprise system should decide what programs succeed and which do not.
Our "free speech" rights should insure that we all have the right to say what we want, and also have the right to dispute what is said.
We should NEVER be able to suppress what we don't like being said.
That's why we call ourselves "the land of the free"...

Brian C. Anderson and Adam D. Thierer combine to write "Killing Talk Radio" at NewCriterion.com:
"Over the last few years, Democratic politicians and activists have started talking about restoring the Fairness Doctrine again. Fairness mandates would force liberal radio to accommodate “the other side,” of course, but getting a lot of right-leaning broadcasts off the air would be more than worth it. They would also curb the sales of conservative books, which, often snubbed by mainstream media outlets, depend heavily on the talk-radio circuit to find readers."
