Look for your own link. I'll share my opinion about it though.
...ok, did my own research....you wont like it though
quote:
Under something like "The Fairness Doctrine" collarme and collarchat would have to let people who believed in missionary sex (or Christians, or whoever) have the use of half of their resources.
...not true, at least if we're talking about the Fairness Doctrine introduced in the US in1949. The situation you describe is specifically not what the Doctrine called for. Not equal time, not equal use of resources.....
"It did not require equal time for opposing views, but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows or editorials."

Short and the long, Radio and TV would have to give "opposing viewpoints" equal time.
...factually inaccurate, feel free to benefit from my research.
quote:
That will kill shows like Obermann or Limbaugh because the opposition, like say Nader, would most likely bore people to tears... droning on and on in a nasal monotone for hours and hours, you know?
.....well, thats your opinion...others wont share it, but as a fair minded person you wont begrudge them that.
quote:
It's all about silencing the opposition, and it's madness for anyone to support it because it's another infringement on all of our rights.
......well, as you're clearly in factual error over whats being proposed, this statement is understandable. No need to thank me for bringing a little accuracy into your life.
