Once again, we see democrats working to limit free speech and open markets. Why? It is not because they see a market imbalance, it is because they could not sell their message in an open market. Now they want to limit (censor) others.
This censorship of ideas is named the "Fairness Doctrine". It seems to be an oxymoron if there ever was one. Liberal talk radio has had it's chance in an open market, it failed. Air America was a disaster and always suffered from low ratings. What really happened was that the liberal socialist democrats could not sell their message to America.
Don't be fooled, the "Fairness Doctrine" is coming soon. If you value true freedom of speech or speech without censorship, I would start calling your local
Senators and
Representatives now! If you don't it will gain momentum in the liberal media (see
liberal media bias from the Media Research Center) to the point where it will be forced on us whether we want it or not.
Isn't it interesting that this "Fairness Doctrine" is only applied to radio and not the liberal bias in television news? Both are overseen by the FCC, however, only one is unfair. Typical liberal thinking, whatever we don't like should be controlled by government.
