Have you heard about the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”?
Leftwingers want to use it to force radio stations that carry popular conservative talk shows to provide equal time for left-wing views that radio audiences don’t want to hear.
…Senator Ton Harkin, D-IA, called for imposing the doctrine by law. In an interview on the Bill Press Radio Show, Harkin told his host, “We gotta get the Fairness Doctrine back in law again.” Press told the senator, “All we want is, you know, some balance on the airwaves, that’s all…but just make sure that there are a few progressives and liberals out there, right?” Harkin responded, “Exactly. That’s why we need the Fairness Doctrine back.”
Could we apply the Fairness Doctrine to the local newspaper to get equal time?
